Texas 1015 Sweet Short Day Onion Seeds Hybrid Yellow Sweet Onion SeedsAllium cepaListing is for 1 packet of minimum 30-50 seeds***Short day onion variety for those that grow onions during the fall/winter*** Texas 1015 Super Sweet onions are some of the most well-known and sweetest onions! Whether you're new to gardening or an experienced pro, these onions are a fantastic choice for your garden. They have a light-colored inside and are incredibly sweet and tasty, making them perfect for salads, slicing, grilling, and cooking. These onions are famous for their big size, resistance to diseases, and they won't make you cry a lot when you chop them due to having low pyruvate levels. With the right care, you can expect to harvest good amounts of 6-inch, sweet, yellow onions. PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS Check out my YouTube video tutorial all about how to grow large bulbing onions: https://youtu.be/g35dF8aVDhw When to sow your seeds: ***These are short day onions and will only bulb if grown during the winter in the Southern parts of the USA*** Sow seeds in August or September to transplant 2 months later. They will grow all winter long and you start harvesting in late spring. Fertilize seedlings when they are 3 inches or taller, once a week, with a liquid fertilizer, mixed at half strength of whatever the directions say. Germination: 7 -14 days Onions are slow to germinate Seed Sowing: I sow them densely to grow out my own onion transplants. Sprinkle a bunch of seeds over a 10 inch x 20 inch flat (seed tray) or sprinkle a bunch over the surface of several 4 inch pots. When seedlings are around 6 inches long, separate all of them and transplant into the garden. Don't worry, onions at this size will not have transplant shock due to disturbing the roots. Space them at minimum 4 inches apart so they have room to form big bulbs. Mix them throughout your garden and veggie crops to deter pests. Harvest: Can start harvesting when the onions greens or tops begin to fold over. Personally, I like to wait until all of the greens have turned brown and dried out.
