How do you grow spring onions?
- poke 16 shallow holes in the spot (no deeper than 0.5 cm)
- put 2 to 3 seeds in each hole
- gently close the hole
You don't need to thin out spring onions since you harvest the first ones when they're still thin, and the rest when they get thicker. So, for the next few weeks, you don't need to do anything except give them some water if the weather's dry.
Then, about 2 months after sowing, the onions are big enough to regularly harvest some of the thinner ones. For that, you gently pull them out, leaving the rest to grow further.
Young spring onions are the tastiest, so don't wait too long to harvest.

Are spring onions healthy?
They contain a lot of vitamins: A (beta-carotene), C, and K: good for your vision, immune system, blood, and bones. Plus the minerals Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium.
Additionally, they have few calories but lots of fiber (great for your digestion), are packed with antioxidants and sulfur compounds. The latter can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels in your body: good for your heart.
And lastly, they also stabilize blood sugar levels 🙂
