Seedling onions are sown as early as possible in the spring, as soon as it is possible to go out into the garden. They are planted at a distance of 5-10 cm from each other, the depth of planting in the soil is 3-5 cm, the recommended distance between the rows is 30 cm. After harvesting, the onions are stored in a well-ventilated area at a temperature of 15-20°C. Dried and peeled bulbs should be stored in a dry and dark place at a temperature of 1-3 ° C. At higher temperatures, onions begin to germinate (especially onion sets). You need to buy a seedling in early spring. Store the purchased seedlings in a cardboard box in a warm, dry room (not in the kitchen, as it is very humid there, and the bulbs can germinate). Before planting (for a week), warm the seedlings in the sun, sprinkle them in a thin layer on a warm windowsill. Harvest the onions in late July or early August. As soon as the neck of the bulb becomes soft and the plant begins to bend. In this phase, the growth of the bulbs is completed. The upper scales of the bulb acquire the colour characteristic of the variety. When 25% of all plants have died, the entire crop is harvested.
