Onions are an interesting crop, as they’re a biennial in nature. That means they grow from seed to a dormant bulb in their first year, and from that bulb to flower (and back to seed) in their second year.
It’s important to take this into consideration when planting onions. You have three options when it comes to planting them:
1. Start onions from seeds
2. Start onions as transplants
3. Planting onion sets
In today’s video we’re going with option #3. It’s a great way to get into onion growing, because you shortcut a lot of the upfront growing time. Onion sets have been forced into dormancy while they’re still immature bulbs. This means they have a chance of going to flower instead of bulbing up.
To avoid this, make sure you select bulbs on the smaller side…they’re less likely to go to seed.
