Plant onion seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the ground can be worked. You can also plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant in spring 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.
They need fertile soil in a well-drained garden location. Apply mulch, 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 transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.
You can harvest onions for their green stems (scallions) anytime. Cut the green stems with garden scissors when tops are 4 - 8" tall. For bulb products, let the tops dry out before digging them up. Spread bulbs on the ground for 3 to 5 days to cure.
