- Planting: Plant in early spring in a sunny location with moist, fertile soil.
- Care: Because onions are shallow‑rooted, the soil must be kept consistently moist with regular watering to support steady bulb development. Feed plants with a low‑nitrogen fertilizer, which encourages strong bulb formation rather than excessive leaf growth.
- Harvest: Harvest onions when the bulbs reach about 1 inch in diameter
