Make sure that the bulb part of the plant is not covered with compost. Move the plants into a coldframe or unheated greenhouse, to acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out to final position from late April. Plant 50 - 60 cm apart in rich, fertile soil. Keep weed free and feed well to achive larger bulbs. Water in the summer during dry spells. When the leaves start to yellow, allow the onions a further two weeks, then lift and store in a cool dry place. Check out how to grow onions from seeds in details.
