Description
Enjoy the punchy flavour of Spring Onion ‘Totem’ in your summer salads, sandwiches and stir fries, freshly harvested from the garden or allotment! This easy and fast-growing crop provides a long lasting harvest of slim, uniform salad onions which don’t bulb at the base and are perfect for slicing. Sow successively and you can pick them an use them throughout the summer months and into autumn. A rewarding crop for small spaces, spring onions are ideal for growing in troughs on the patio or at the allotment. Direct sow onions outdoors in spring on any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Sow thinly at a depth of 1cm (1/2”) and a distance of 30cm (12”) between rows. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing onions in raised beds. Alternatively sow onion seed indoors in module trays at a depth of 1cm (1/2”), using free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 10-15C (50-59F) until after germination which usually takes 10-14 days. Once germinated, grow onions on in cool conditions until all risk of frost has passed and they are large enough to plant outdoors at a distance of 5cm (2”) apart.
