Thoroughly dig over the site with a fork, removing any weeds. Adding a general fertiliser will improve yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMark out a row using a string line or cane. Plant the sets (onions) 3cm\/1\" deep and 12cm\/5\" apart along the marked row. Label the row with the variety name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the sets every few days and re-plant any that have been disturbed by birds etc., until growth starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil moist during the growing period. remove any weeds which otherwise will compete with the onions for food and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn late summer\/early autumn, the leaves will begin to die down. This means they are about ready for harvest. Bend the leaves over and a few days later ease the onions out of the soil. A few days later again, lift them clear of the soil and leave on the surface to ripen. When dry, rub off loose skins and roots. Store in a cool, dry, frost-free place in trays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack size: Pack of 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to plant: March, April, May\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to harvest: August, September, October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting depth: 3cm\/1\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacing: 12cm\/5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil type: Moist but well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil pH: Acid, Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunlight: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Tolerant of low temperatures but will not survive being frozen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylors Bulbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56082294866245,"sku":"1072692","price":1.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/57e1bb38-mixed-onion-sets.webp?v=1761657582","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/mixed-onion-sets","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
