WHEN TO SOW
February to June

Where to Sow
Early sowing can be made under glass in modules, sow 4-5 seeds per module on the surface of seed sowing compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost, and place at a temperature of 14°C. Outdoor sowings can be made in April, sow seed thinly in shallow drills 1.5cm (1/2in) deep, with rows spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

What to do next
Greenhouse sown modules do not require thinning and can be moved to a cold frame in April to harden off before planting outside 7cm (3in) apart for clusters of salad onions. Outdoor sowings can be pulled and used as required.

MATURITY
12 weeks from sowing.

NUTRITIONAL VALUE
Antibacterial and Antiseptic properties, due to beneficial sulphur compounds. A good source of antioxidants, such as quercetin and anthocyanin. Also high in Vitamin C, calcium and iron.

HANDY TIP
Can also be thinned to 15cm (6") apart and left to mature as the main crop of small red bulb onions in September.
