What time of year do you plant green onions?

Sow directly in the garden in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked and then again in fall. Choose a location in full sun where you did not plant onions the previous year. Apply a balanced fertilizer and work into the soil prior to planting. Scallions prefer a pH of 6.0 – 7.0.

Do I need to soak onion seeds before planting?

A set is an actual bulb and will produce onions quickly. You can plant onion sets without soaking them, but soaked onions will sprout more quickly. You can also soak onion seed before planting to encourage germination. Soaking the sets in compost tea will give them added nutrition and protection from disease.
