A great cooking onion and a well known variety. This onion adds excellent flavor to just about any meal.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
- Select a sunny, well drained spot in the garden
- Transplant starts in groups of four
- Gently hold the tops while shoving the roots into a small hole in the soil made with a pencil or your finger
- Cover with soil immediately and water well
- Matures in 100 days
- To store, wait until the tops of the onion are 80% dry and falling over
- Allow to dry in a cool dry place for several days. The outer skin should get papery and start shrinking. Once the tops are dry, trim the roots and tops to 1 inch from the bulb and store in a cool dry place.
