It slices raw into salads and sandwiches without the harsh sting, yet still fries and roasts down to a rich, sweet base. A dependable all-rounder and a solid keeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds about 5mm deep, direct or in punnets. Germination takes 10 to 14 days. Thin or transplant to about 10cm apart in rows 30cm apart. Onions are day-length sensitive, so sowing time matters more than with most crops, and the seasons below suit each zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Sow - Australian Climate Zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool \u0026amp; Mountain:\u003c\/strong\u003e August to October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperate:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e April to June (dry season)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArid \u0026amp; Semi-arid:\u003c\/strong\u003e March to August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in free draining soil worked over with compost before sowing. Keep the bed weed-free, as onions hate competition, and water evenly while the bulbs swell. Feed with a seaweed solution or a little sulphate of potash rather than heavy nitrogen, which delays bulbing and softens the skins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift the bulbs once about half the tops have yellowed and flopped over, usually around 24 to 28 weeks from sowing. Ease them up on a dry day and cure in a warm, airy, shaded spot for a couple of weeks before storing the firm, well-skinned bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52741316444472,"sku":"V-1049","price":2.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/onion-brown-odourless.jpg?v=1785855014","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/onion-brown-odourless-seeds","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
