Many people choose to do their planting activities in the fall, if possible.
Some varieties of onions that tolerate cold well are also planted before winter.
Scientist agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", advises paying attention to three important points.
What do they consist of?
Size of planting material
Many summer residents are more concerned about the variety of onions or their quality. This is, of course, also important, but one trick should not be forgotten: in the winter, it is customary to plant small onions, whose size is less than one centimeter.
It is this type of planting material that will allow you to reap a luxurious harvest next year.
The right time
Previously, the weather was more predictable, so it was possible to name universal dates for planting. Now, even in November, the weather can be quite warm.
Therefore, be guided by the forecast and plant the crop 14 days before frost.
Selecting a location
This point is also very important. Choose a bed where green manure, legumes, pumpkin or tomatoes were previously grown.
