WHERE TO SOW:

Sow thinly in shallow 1cm deep rows 30cm apart. Can be sown 2 or 3 seeds into plug cells.

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

As soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, start thinning out until about 10cm apart. Plant out plug-grown plants when seedlings are about 10cm tall.

HANDY TIPS:  Onion seed does not like being sown into wet soil. It may help to sprinkle some dry compost into the row before sowing.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE:  Antibacterial and Antiseptic properties, due to beneficial sulphur compounds. A good source of antioxidants, such as quercetin and anthocyanin.
