Commonly Asked Questions
What is the best month to plant onions?
Short-day onions can be planted in warmer regions from September to November. In cooler areas, plant long-day onions between February and April depending on the conditions, whereas day-neutral onions can be planted in October to November in milder climates, but are better planted between March and April in colder areas.
How do I know when onions are ready to harvest?
Onions are ready to harvest when their leaves begin to flop over or turn brown at the edges. Additionally, the onion tops will fall over and have a paper-like consistency. At this stage, the onions will stop growing and can be carefully dug out.
Can I grow an onion from an onion?
Yes, you can grow an onion from an onion bulb. Plant the scraps of these onions in soil, either in a small pot placed in a sunny window or outdoors in your garden. With the right care, new onions will grow from these scraps.
Is it too late to plant onions now?
Onions can be sown outdoors from late winter until mid-spring, once your soil is drying out and beginning to warm up. It's essential to check the specific requirements of your onion variety to ensure optimal planting times.
How many onions grow from one onion?
A single onion bulb or seed will produce one onion. The size of the onion will vary depending on its variety and the growing conditions. Growing from seeds can be cost-effective as a single packet of seeds often supplies enough onions for a year.
