Produce Green or Salad Onions
- Plant throughout the spring at two-week intervals
- Mark rows one foot apart
- Plant onion sets 2-4 inches deep with the bulbs nearly touching (the deeper you plant, the more white portion will be produced)
- Harvest when tops are about 10 inches tall – usually 4-6 weeks after planting
- Refrigerate cleaned green onions in a glass of water to keep fresh and flavorful
