Onions
How do I sow onions outdoors?
To sow onions outdoors, it is advisable to do so in spring, when temperatures start to warm up. Prepare the soil by working it deeply, weeding it and making it loose. Onions need soil rich in organic matter, so don't hesitate to add compost or well-decomposed manure before sowing.
It is recommended to sow onion seeds at a depth of about 1 to 2 centimetres and space them about 5 to 10 centimetres apart. Water regularly, but sparingly, to prevent the soil becoming too damp. Onions don't need to be fertilised with fertiliser, but you can mulch around the plants to keep the soil cool.
Be sure to keep an eye out for weeds and remove them regularly, as they can compete with onions for soil nutrients. By following these simple tips, you'll be able to harvest beautiful, healthy and tasty onions from your garden with ease.
