Allium cepa
HEIRLOOM Beyond her delectability, we love New York Early Onion for her dependable earliness and long storage life. Storing rock-hard consistently through the winter, we rarely have months we don’t eat these 2.5 to 3 inch wide, beautifully round onions!

Sowing and seedling care: Broadcast in flats 1/4 inch apart. Heat mats help hasten germination. Water evenly & clip tops once 5” tall (enjoy like chives). Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Onions are hungry! There is a direct relationship between the quantity & quality of nutrients available and the quality and quantity of onions you’ll harvest. We foliar feed with dilute fish & kelp emulsion every 2 to 3 weeks until the summer solstice, when onions begin to transition to dormancy.
When to transplant: Mid-spring. mulch reduces weed & watering pressure.
