some died

The onion plants were planted promptly after I received them. As of today, there are gaps in the rows due to many plants dying. I had to plant about four coie crop plants in the empty spaces.

Abundant Starts

I just planted out 95 onions in my bundle! 87 were a good size, and 8 were pretty tiny. Even then, I definitely feel like I received more than a full set. Most of the onions were white, then red, and a handful of sweet. I understand that the sweets are the most expensive, so this makes sense, but it also works out fine for me since they have the shortest shelf life. I stored them in the garage for a week between when they arrived and when I planted them, but with the PNW rains this week, they have already shown signs of continued life. Looking forward to a productive year!

Poor value

Received 55 starts, but 15-20 are very small and poor quality. Bundle contained only 7 starts of the red variety. Not worth the price, won't order again.

Generous size, great variety.

Plants were received in good condition. Mostly large sized plants ready to go into the ground.

Slight nit-pick, the mix was not in balance - received approximately 40% Redwing, 40% Ringmaster, and 20% Walla Walla. Plenty of plants to go around, however.

Was able to plant out a full 4' x 8' bed for full sized bulbs using the largest plants with plenty of the smaller gauge plants left over to be planted out at closer spacing for spring onions.

Allium cepa Days to maturity are calculated from date of direct seeding.

Culture
• Onions are photoperiodic plants — they regulate their stages of growth by day length
• Onions will make top growth until the critical light duration is reached, then bulbing begins
• The amount of growth and development prior to bulbing will determine the bulb size
• Long-day varieties do well in northern states where summertime day length is between 14-16 hours
• Short-day varieties do well in southern states and bulb when day length is 10-12 hours; they won't get very large in northern states
• Dividing line between short-day and long-day varieties is generally accepted as 36° latitude, roughly along the Kansas/Oklahoma border
• Day-neutral and intermediate-day varieties start bulbing when day length is 12-14 hours; can be successfully grown anywhere
• Onions prefer light, sandy, loamy soils
• Apply 1/4-1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 5 row feet, 1-2 inches below transplant or seed

Direct Sowing
• Thin to the strongest plant when 4-5 inches

Transplanting
• Sow up to 10-12 seeds in a 4-6 inch pot
• If tops reach over 5 inches before transplant, cut to 3 inches
• When planting out carefully separate the seedlings and place in a shallow trench
• Fill trench around seedlings and water in well

Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Onion thrips and maggots
• Insect control: Pyrethrin or Predatory Nematodes
• Common diseases: Fusarium basal rot, pink root
• Disease prevention: 5-7 year crop rotation

Harvest & Storage
• For scallions: harvest when pencil size or larger, wash and trim roots, store in a bag at 36°F and 95% relative humidity
• As bulbs approach maturity, withhold water so protective paper can form
• After about half the tops have fallen, push over the remainder; wait about 1 week then harvest
• Cure in a warm (75-80°F), shaded, well-ventilated location until outer skin and necks are dry, then trim tops, leaving one inch above the bulb
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
• Check occasionally and immediately remove any sprouting or rotting onions

What is pelleted seed?
Seed that has been coated with a clay-based material to form a larger, round shape. This makes planting by hand or mechanical seeder easier and allows for more controlled sowing of small seeds such as carrots or lettuce. All pelleted seed has a National Organic Program (NOP) approved coating.
For best results, store pelleted seed in an air-tight container and use within one season.

What is seed tape?
Seed tapes are perfectly straight rows of precisely spaced crops. No more having to thin seedlings! This biodegradable tape will plant a row 5 meters (16 feet, 5 inches) long. Simply lay it in a furrow and cover with a light layer of sifted compost or soil, water and wait. Save yourself a heap of planting time with these popular vegetable and herb staples.
