Sowing Information
Direct sow spring onions outdoors from March to July. Specific overwintering varieties may be sown in late summer under cloche protection for an early spring crop. Grow spring onions on any firm, well drained, fertile soil in full sun. Sow thinly in rows at a depth of 1cm (½”) and a distance of 30cm (12”) between rows, and cover lightly with soil. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Spring Onions will not require thinning. Sow Spring Onions every 3 weeks for an ongoing supply throughout summer.
