Care Tips
Onions can be grown straight from seeds, though more often than not they are grown from commercially grown sets. These are baby onions that are grown to be free from viruses. A nice open site with well-drained, fertile soil will suit the onion best. Onions will need to be regularly weeded and be careful not to over water them as they are particularly susceptible to rotting if too wet.
