Onions are the base of most delicious dishes like soups, salads, and different sandwiches.
You don’t need a huge farm to start growing onions. They can be grown in your small backyard garden or pots.
Seeds can be planted in the ground in early spring or started under lights in grow station and later transplanted in the ground. Gardeners also use onion sets, which is a live dormant onion bulb started from the seed one year earlier.
Seed vs Bulb
The choice of whether to use the seed or bulb depends on your particular climate, the type of onions you want to grow, and the hours of daylight the onion will get.
Should You Use Seeds or Bulbs?
Onions are categorized into three basic types, mainly short-day, long-day, and neutral-day types. Each of these onion types grows better in a specific region and not others.
