Growing tips

The onion sets are only planted deep enough so that they are just covered with soil and a small piece of the upper part is still sticking out. Sowing in spring is also possible; the bulbs are usually somewhat smaller when harvested and can be planted as onion sets the following year. It is also possible to grow seedlings in planting trays. The seedlings are then planted in the bed as soon as the 3rd or 4th leaf is visible and no more heavy frost is expected. Harvest as soon as the leaves snap and turn yellow by themselves and the leaf base dries up. To do this, you should wait for a dry, sunny day and allow the onions to dry out before storing them.
