SOWING: Seed directly in the garden in a sunny location  after all danger of frost has passed. Sow  seeds ½-1 inch deep . Space  rows approximately 18  inches  apart. Seed may be started indoors 8-10 weeks prior to planting outdoors. Can be sown in late August for harvesting the next summer in mild climates.

GERMINATION:  10-14 days, depending upon soil and weather conditions.

THINNING & TRANSPLANTING: When seedlings are  3  inches high,  thin/transplant to  4-6 inches apart. Replant thinned plants.

SUGGESTIONS:  For early fruiting and to overcome a short growing season, seedlings may be started indoors.  Fertile, moist soil enriched with compost is best for onion production.  Onions ward off many insect pests around lettuce, cabbage and carrots.  Use thinnings as green onions. Harvest young plants in 56-60 days or mature bulbs in 110-125 days.  Does not store well
