Onion Sets (Autumn) -Shakespeare
€3.50
Description
Shakespeare onions are probably the best autumn planted onion varieties available. The sets can be planted in a polytunnel or outdoors. The indoor crop should be ready in May while the outdoor crop is ready in June – about a month earlier before the spring planted types.
Spacing:
10cm in the row
25-30cm between rows
Plant in firm ground with tops sticking out. You may need to protect the sets from crows or jackdaws with a cloche or netting until they have rooted. In the last year – I have seen two gardeners who buried the onion sets just below ground level to keep them save from birds. Initially I thought the bulbs would rot, but both produced excellent onions. There is always something new to learn!
