Green Onions
Plant Date: April 1st (indoors)
Transplant Date: May 12 (two weeks after last average frost date)
Planting: Be sure to use fresh onion seeds as they do not keep well. Plant 3 to a pot and 1/2" deep. Thin the weakest seedling. Before transplanting, till in some manure or compost and use a balanced fertilizer. Plant the seedlings 2" apart.
Care: Once planted, green onions don't take much maintenance. Just make sure they get an inch of water a week.
Harvest: Harvest the onions when they are about 6-8" tall and the roots begin to swell. You can cut the greens an inch above the bulb, and replant it. This way you can get several harvests per season!
