Onion Set: 30 BULBS

This onion mix is ideal for those in colder climates with shorter growing seasons. With a variety of colors, this selection of onion sets is a dependable way to grow bulb onions. These long-day onions can be cultivated in gardens with longer growing seasons, but should be planted later to prevent bolting. Our open pollinated assortment delivers slightly flattened bulbs, perfect for immediate consumption or timely processing. Additionally, these onion sets are certified to be free of both white rot and stem nematode.. Each pound includes approximately 100 - 130 sets 

Onion sets are biennial plants with hollow, glaucous leaves. They are typically bluish green and have a medium growth rate.

onion sets, which are dormant bulbs, into the ground at a depth of 1-2 inches. Space the sets 2-3 inches apart, and once they begin to grow, thin them to 3-4 inches apart. The thinned plants can be used as green onions. For optimal growth, onions require rich organic soil, so incorporate 2-4 inches of compost or humus before planting. Space onion plants 4-6 inches apart. Approx. 100-130 sets per pound

Onions are great companion plants in the garden. They naturally deter certain garden pests, like aphids, Japanese beetles, sugar beet-flea beetles, deer, and rabbits. Onions can also improve the flavor of some of their companions, while some companions, like chamomile and summer savory, can improve the onion?s flavor. Scattering them around the vegetable garden helps to produce healthier harvests.

Try to be careful about the fertilizers you use for onions. Onions tend to be more pungent when grown on soils with a high sulfur content. Choose a nitrate-based fertilizer over a sulfate-based fertilizer. Ask your local garden center expert for the right fertilizer. The fertilizer bag, even on all-purpose fertilizers, 12-24-12 for example, may indicate the components used to formulate the fertilizer. 
Care Tips/Maintenance
Onions may need lots of moisture at the beginning, but less when the bulbs are approaching full size. When the tops begin to fall over naturally, it's time to pull the onions up.
Harvest Instructions 
Members of the onion family generally give a very obvious signal when they are ready to harvest. The tops fall over and the tips of the leaves start to turn brown. In addition, the bulbs are full size. Pull the onions, shake off any soil, but do not wash them or pull off any outside wrapper leaves. 
Store them in a cool, dry, shaded area to cure for several days or up to 2 weeks if the weather is dry and not too hot. Then clip off the roots and tops leaving about one inch of the stem and brush off any remaining soil.
Storage Instructions
Store the onions in a very cool place (your basement or even an old refrigerator) trying to keep them between 35 and 55°F (1 and 12°C). The closer to 35 degrees the less chance the onions will sprout. Check your onions occasionally and use the ones showing signs of sprouting or softening right away. With good storage, your onion crop should last most of the winter.
