How do you sow Red Baron onions outdoors?
Sow Red Baron outdoors in spring when soil warms and is easy to work. Prepare a weed-free, fine surface in sun, avoiding waterlogged soil.
Sow thinly about 1–1.5cm deep in rows 20–30cm apart. Water gently and keep the surface moist until emergence. Thin gradually to leave about 10–15cm between plants: this final distance is different from seed spacing at sowing.
Follow the packet and adapt timing to climate. Direct-sown seedlings do not need transplanting to make bulbs swell. Weed carefully.
