Wat is er bijzonder aan Rode Winteruien?
Planting Winter Onions
Growing winter onions is super simple. You can find the instructions for this in our app as well. In short, here's what you need to do:
- Choose a spot in full sun, or use a MM-mini and place it in a sunny location.
- You can fit 16 onions in one spot.* So, make 16 holes that are 2.5 to 4 cm deep and place the onions in them. Then, give them some water.
- During the winter, the plants will hardly grow, so you don't need to do anything. However, provide them with some protection against harsh weather and severe frost. For example, you can use a MM-hat.
- Fertilize only in early spring. Around that time, the days become longer, the temperature rises again, and the foliage starts to grow well.
Harvest when the foliage is completely yellow and starts to fall over: between the end of May and mid-July. Then the diameter of the onions is approximately 5-7 cm.
*Note: sometimes there are quite a few large onions in a net, so there are fewer than 32 pieces. Because they will probably become a bit larger, it's better to plant 9 in a patch - instead of 16.
