Hey Neighbor, There’s just something about growing a big onion or a tomato that makes grown folks proud of themselves. I’ll admit—I’ve been guilty of it myself. | | Maybe it’s the pride in all the hard work, or maybe it’s just the simple joy of accomplishing something that looks impressive. Either way, I think everyone should be growing onions. Here’s why: if you follow a few simple steps, anybody can grow big ol’ onions. -
Plant the right type at the right time. There are three onion types—Short Day, Intermediate Day, and Long Day. See the map here to find out which one you should grow in your area. -
Fertilize them well early on. Onions are heavy feeders and need lots of nutrition. Here’s our [Onion Growing Guide](insert link) for details. -
Stop fertilizing 30 days before harvest. This helps the bulbs size up properly. -
Know when to harvest. Wait until 50–80% of the tops have fallen over. -
Cure them right. Dig them up and leave them on top of the soil for a few days to cure in natural sunlight. (Just don’t let them get rained on!) -
Store for months of use. Keep them in a cool, dry, dark place, and you’ll enjoy your onions well into the season. SHORT DAY INTERMEDIATE-DAY Pre-order now and we’ll ship them when it’s time to plant in your region. Get Dirty, P.S.
