Onion seeds should be planted indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the ground can be worked. You can also plant seeds directly in the garden. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked. Keep free from weeds. You need long sunny days to grow large onions. Shallots are very close to garlic and are very easy to grow. Plants can grow 8 to 12" tall.
Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch and grass clippings, or straw, around the base of the plant.
Keep seedlings and transplants consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water well during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro every 2 weeks.
You can harvest onions for their green stems (scallions) at any time. Cut the green stems with garden scissors when tops are 4 - 8" tall. For bulbs, let the tops dry up before digging them up. Spread bulbs on the ground for 3 to 5 days to cure.
