Onion

Allium cepa - Onion, TSW 4 - 5 g, 200 - 250 seeds in 1 g. To pre-cultivating the seedlings, sow the seeds from March until mid-April densely into lines. For 10 m2 we need about 100 g of seed. At a time when bulbs reach the pencil's size, we pull them out and let it dry in the sun. The optimal storage temperature is up to 5 ° C or above 15 ° C. The next year, we plant the seedlings (sets) on the bed early in the spring so that the end of the neck slightly protrudes above the bed. We plant 100 - 300 g of small onions per square meter in a spacing 20 x 8 - 10 cm. Onions grown from the sets have a worse storage life compared to directly sown onions, but a much earlier harvest.
