What you need to know:
- 1 x Mr Fothergills Onion (Spring) North Holland Blood Red Seeds
- Harvest: April to October
- Outdoors Sowing Guide: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 15cm (6”) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. For spring onions, no thinning is required, but keep well watered in dry spells. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply through the summer. For bulb onions, sow no later than April. Thin seedlings to 8cm (3”) apart. Harvest from July onwards.
- Soil Type: Well dug, fertile soil
- Hints & Tips: Harvest alternate spring onions from early sowings allowing space for the remaining ones to mature as bulbs.
