- Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, loose soil with plenty of organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0–7.0) is ideal.
- Planting Time: Early spring or fall (depending on climate) for a harvest within 90–110 days.
- Spacing: Plant sets about 1 inch deep and 4–6 inches apart, leaving 12–18 inches between rows.
- Watering: Water regularly during the growing period to keep soil moist but not soggy. Reduce watering before harvest to avoid rot.
- Maintenance: Weed regularly to prevent competition for nutrients. Mulch can help retain moisture and control weeds.
- Harvest: When tops fall over and begin to brown, pull onions and cure in a dry, shaded spot for 7–10 days.
These onions are easy to store, making them a great addition to your kitchen for several months after harvest. With proper care, Super Sweet Dutch Onions will thrive in your garden, delivering flavorful results throughout the growing season.
