A distinction is made between seed onions and onion sets. Summer, kitchen and vegetable onions are usually planted as onion sets in spring. The onion sets are only planted deep enough to just cover them with soil. Sowing in spring is also possible, the onions are usually somewhat smaller at harvest 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.
