Onion sets are here! We have Super Sweet, Ebenezer White, Ebenezer Yellow, Weathersfield Red, and Multiplying Shallots.

Don’t know where to start? Follow these tips:

☀️Locate a sunny spot in your garden and use a rich soil like our Garden Compost.

📏Plant bulbs with the growth point up and at a depth of one inch and space them 3 to 6 inches apart.

🌿Pull soil away from the bulbs as they grow for larger onions

Onions are typically ready in 4-5 months

Harvesting:
1. Make sure the soil is dry. This makes it easier to pull the onions out.
2. Gently pull them up.
3. Cut the tops down.
4. Let dry for a couple of days in a cool, dry place to cure.

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
