Onion – Barletta – 1 gr

Description

SCIENTIFIC NAME:

Allium cepa

CULTURE:

Sow in early spring in 5-10 cm  wide bands or single rows 10 cm apart, about 1,2 cm between seeds. Cover 0,6-1,2 cm. Thinning is not necessary. Keep free of weeds. As with all onions, full sun, consistent soil moisture, and a fertile soil with a pH of 6.2-6.8 are preferable.

HARVEST:

Pull by the bunch whenever needed. No skin forms until 2-3 months into the season, making mini onions easy to wash and prepare.

ADAPTATION:

Mini onions are smaller and earlier to bulb the further north they are grown. Suited to 40° and higher latitudes for pearl and cipollini onions, for small to medium onions at lower latitudes.
