Quote:I did not grow onions this year, but I have planted them in the spring and gotten large onions in the fall. Your friend is correct however, about the recommended planting time for onions. All the farms plant in October or September. I think most commercial farms usually plant from seed, so that makes some difference. I always used sets.
Well know a lot of people grow onions that way ( for a year) butt all of the places who sell onion sets in march tells me there are a lot of people like me who plant early and harvest nice big onions just a few months later.
Both methods work I just think it's funny this guy thinks I'm lying when I say I can grow large onions and plant in early spring, I'm going to show him a softball size onion and tell him to shove it up his ass
I'm actually using both methods because last year I had a few onions that were small and for whatever reason didn't do well. I just left them in the ground and now a lot of them are huge
Quote:I noticed onions do not like a lot of water when they near maturity.
