Gardening
Onions are an essential ingredient in a wide range of global cuisines, offering a pungent, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor depending on how they are cooked. They can be eaten raw, sautéed, caramelized, grilled, or fried, making them versatile for dishes ranging from salads to complex curries.
Climate and Soil:
Onions grow best in cool temperatures but need plenty of sunlight. They prefer loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. The ideal pH is between 6.0 and 7.0.
Planting :
You can plant onions from seeds, sets (small bulbs), or transplants. Seeds should be started indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last frost, while sets can be directly planted in the garden once the soil is workable.
Plant sets or transplants about 1 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart.
Watering and Care:
Onions need consistent moisture, especially during their bulb-forming stage. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging.
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
Fertilization :
Onions are heavy feeders. Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer early in the season to encourage leafy growth, then switch to a balanced fertilizer as the bulbs start to form.
Harvesting :
Onions are ready to harvest when the tops turn yellow and begin to fall over. Pull them out of the ground and let them dry in a warm, well-ventilated area for a few days.
Once the outer skins are dry, you can store the onions in a cool, dry place for several months.
