Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of your golden globe yellow onion sets begins with proper planting and attentive care. Onions thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample light throughout the day. The soil should be well-draining, loose, and rich in organic matter. A pH level between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal. Before planting, amend heavy clay soils with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility. For sandy soils, adding organic matter will help with moisture retention.

Planting these non-gmo onion bulbs is straightforward. Plant the sets about 1 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. Ensure the pointy end of the onion set faces upwards. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. Consistent moisture is crucial, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering which can lead to rot. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks until the bulbs begin to swell. Keep the onion patch free of weeds, as weeds can compete for nutrients and moisture, hindering the growth of your heirloom onion bulbs. Watch for common pests like onion thrips or diseases such as downy mildew, and address them promptly with organic solutions if possible. Knowing how to grow yellow onions successfully involves understanding these fundamental care requirements.
