How to choose a high-quality onion set: pay attention to these signs - the future harvest depends on them
To get a good harvest, it is important to plant the bulbs in a well-sunny location.
The sowing time is quite early, since onions are a fairly cold-resistant crop.
How to choose onion sets for planting
Before planting, you should check the seed quality. Onion sets should have a uniform color.
There should be no stains or visible damage on the surface.
In addition, there should be no putrid odor and, especially, no traces of mold.
To the touch, the onion set should be dense, with dry covering scales and a ripe neck.
The bulbs should not be wrinkled, with green leaves appearing.
Size also plays an important role when choosing onion sets.
Choose bulbs of the smallest fraction - from 8 to 14 mm.
This size is considered optimal for winter planting.
Onions grown from small fractions will not be used for shooting.
However, there is one drawback - it can freeze without shelter.
