  • Watering: Maintain a consistent watering schedule, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent bulb rot.

Harvest & Storage

Harvest your White Bulb Onions in late summer to early autumn when the tops begin to yellow and fall over. Cure the bulbs in a warm, dry place for about two weeks to allow the skins to dry. Once cured, store them in a cool, dark location with good ventilation to extend their shelf life and maintain freshness.
