Sowing

Timing: Start sowing Red Onion Seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost.
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Incorporate organic matter like compost for added nutrients.
Sowing Method: Plant Red Onion Seeds in trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist.
Light and Temperature: Place the trays in a warm, well-lit area or under grow lights. Onions require ample sunlight and temperatures around 68-77°F (20-25°C) for optimal growth.
Transplanting: When seedlings are pencil-thick or have 3-4 leaves, transplant them outdoors into well-prepared, properly spaced rows.
Spacing: Plant seedlings about 4-6 inches apart in rows separated by 12-18 inches to allow bulbs space to develop.
Watering and Mulching: Keep the soil evenly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture and deter weeds.
Harvesting: Red Onions can be harvested once the tops have fallen over and dried. Lift the bulbs carefully and allow them to cure in a warm, dry area.
