Know before you buy
Onion sets are essentially young, partially grown bulbs that establish themselves much faster than seeds. This quick start leads to more vigorous plants and a more reliable harvest, especially for gardeners with shorter growing seasons.
Yes, you can harvest these sets early as green onions if you prefer. Simply pull them once the tops are green and tender, well before the 100 to 120-day maturity window for full-sized bulbs.
Onions are quite space-efficient and can be planted about 4 inches apart in rows or grids. You will need roughly 10 to 15 square feet of garden space to accommodate the full pack of 80 sets.
Absolutely. Because they have a relatively shallow root system, these sets perform well in containers as long as the pot has good drainage and receives full sun. Ensure the container is at least 6 to 8 inches deep to allow the bulbs to develop properly.
The strong scent of the Allium family naturally masks the aroma of nearby vegetables, which helps confuse and deter common pests like aphids and deer. Planting them near herbs or leafy greens can provide a protective barrier for your other crops.
Once harvested, allow the onions to cure in a dry, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight until the outer skins are papery and the necks are completely dry. Once cured, they can be stored in a cool, dark, and airy location to maintain their quality.
