SOWING: Sow indoors in flats in early spring or sow seeds outdoors as soon as soil is workable. Cover seeds with 1/4 inch fine soil.
SPACING: Leave 12 to 15 inches between rows or space 6 inches apart in all directions for intensified gardening.
THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING: When plants are about 2 to 4 inches tall, thin or transplant 5 to 6 inches apart outdoors.
GERMINATION: Approximately 10 to 14 days depending upon soil and weather. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: A sunny location with well-drained, well-fertilized, moderately moist soil assures a successful crop. At maturity, bend over tops to hasten ripening before harvest. Let young onions grow and use for scallions, thinning until final spacing is reached.
SEED SAVING: Onions will flower and seed in their second year. Harvest seed when flowers dry and turn brown. Store in a cool, dry place.
