ONION 6 PACK

Hello there, savory garden enthusiast and home cook! Are you looking to cultivate your own flavorful, aromatic onions, a foundational ingredient for so many delicious dishes, right here in your Prescott garden? Let me tell you about growing onions – it’s incredibly rewarding to use your own homegrown bulbs in your cooking! Imagine the fresh zest and depth of flavor they add to everything from stir-fries to stews.

Onion plants typically grow to about 12 to 18 inches tall, with the edible bulb developing underground. They come in various types, including pungent storage onions, milder slicing onions, and sweet varieties, allowing you to choose what suits your culinary needs. Onions are sun-lovers and thrive in full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to develop large, healthy bulbs. While they are generally not a prime target for larger garden animals like deer, a vigorous patch is always your best bet against incidental nibbling.

To ensure your onions flourish and provide you with a bountiful harvest, plant them in loose, well-draining, and fertile soil. Then, apply a generous layer of Watters Premium Mulch around your growing onions once they are established. This is crucial for retaining consistent soil moisture, keeping the soil cool, and suppressing weeds that compete for vital nutrients – all important for bulb development in our Arizona climate. For robust growth and larger, firmer bulbs, feed your onions every 3-4 weeks once their green tops are actively growing, with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This balanced nutrition will help your onions thrive and bring their versatile flavor right to your kitchen!
