Sowing & Growing

Sow February to April, early sowing can be made under glass in pots or seed trays, sow seed on the surface of seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling or vermiculite or compost, and place at a temperature of 14C.

Outdoor sowings can be made in April , sow seed thinly in shallow drills 1.5cm deep, with rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

Greenhouse sown seedlings can be pricked out into individual pots or modular trays. Move plants to a cold frame in April to harden off before planting outside 15cm apart. Outdoor sowings can be thinned gradually until plants are 15cm apart, then leave to mature as smaller bulbs for storing.

Maturity is expected August to September, pull the thinning’s carefully and remove from the site to avoid attracting onion fly. Thinning’s can be used as salad onions.
