When to plant onions in 2021?
The optimal time for spring planting onions in the middle zone is the end of April - mid-May. In more northern regions, planting is carried out one to two weeks later, and in the southern regions earlier than in the middle zone.
Typically, growing onions involves a three-year cycle:
- 1st year.
Nigella is sown for seeding. - 2nd year.
Seeds are planted to obtain a large onion. - 3rd year.
A large onion is planted and it produces seeds.
The stage of growing and preserving the seeds can be skipped. That is, get large bulbs within one year. And this is achieved by growing onions through seedlings. With this method of agricultural technology, the onion shoots less, and the bulb itself grows larger.
