Which sets to choose for winter planting: size matters
Late autumn is the ideal time to plant winter onions.
Many gardeners plant onions in the winter, since this method has many advantages.
This not only saves time in the spring, but also allows the onion to start growing immediately after the first warm days. In addition, onions planted in the fall take root well and grow stronger and healthier. They also suffer less from pests, in particular, from the onion fly.
If you want to appreciate all the advantages of winter onions, you should choose the right size sets.
For these purposes, small-sized onion sets, medium or small bulbs are suitable.
But it is better to put aside large onions for another, since it is the large onions that begin to go into the arrow.
In addition, the consumption of planting material will differ: if you choose large onions, you will need much more sets per bed.
In addition, small onions (up to 1 centimeter) are preferable for planting in the winter, since they are more difficult to keep intact and unharmed during the winter.
