Potty Mouth Garden Club No 32 Sow Onions Special

Onions are a popular and versatile vegetable that can be grown in a variety of climates and soils. To ensure successful onion planting on Boxing Day, there are a few key techniques to keep in mind.

First, it's important to choose the right variety of onion for your climate and soil type. Some onions are better suited to cooler climates, while others prefer warmer weather. It's also important to choose a variety that is resistant to common pests and diseases in your area.

Next, prepare the soil by adding compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility. Onions prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. It's also a good idea to test the pH of the soil and adjust as needed to ensure optimal growing conditions.

Once the soil is prepared, it's time to sow the onion seeds. Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and about 2 inches apart in rows or in a seed tray. Water the seeds gently to ensure good soil-to-seed contact. Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged, as the seeds germinate.

Finally, thin the seedlings as they grow to ensure they have enough space to develop strong, healthy bulbs. Thin to about 4 inches apart for small onions and 6 inches apart for larger varieties.

By following these best techniques for sowing onions on Boxing Day, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious, healthy onions in the coming season.
