Here is the earliest red onion ever seen! Because of its genetic (intermediate days), it is very important to grow it as a transplant and transfer it in your garden as early as possible. You will then be able to harvest onions as soon as the end of July.
Green Thumb
Cultural practices : onion seeds should be sown indoors in February.
Soil : they need rich and fertile soil (mineral or organic soil). It should be kept moist but not wet.
Spacing : the row spacing is 35 cm to 38 cm. For larger bulbs, thin out plants to 7cm to 8cm. The removed plants are delicious in salads.
Growing tips : it is recommended to add fertilizer at the start of the crop and again when the bulbs start to swell.
Harvest : harvest the onions when the leaves droop, turn brown and dry out. Drying can be speeded up by folding a few leaves. Once, harvest, put the onions in a dry, warm and well ventilated place. They keep in a cool, dry room.
