Golden Garnet Onion Sets

Golden Garnet Onion Sets are a premium variety known for their excellent flavour and high yields. With their golden-brown skins and crisp, mild taste, these onions are perfect for a variety of dishes, including salads, soups, and stews. Ideal for storage, Golden Garnet onions can be kept well into the winter, making them a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.

When to Plant:
Plant Golden Garnet onion sets in early spring, from March to April, once the soil has warmed and is no longer frosty. Choose a sunny, well-drained location with fertile soil. Plant the sets about 2-3 cm deep, with the pointed end facing upwards, spaced 15 cm apart to allow for proper bulb development.

When to Feed:
Feed Golden Garnet onions with a balanced fertiliser or well-rotted compost at planting time. For optimal growth, apply a high-potash fertiliser when the bulbs begin to swell, typically in mid-spring. This helps encourage strong bulb development and a higher yield.

When to Harvest:
Golden Garnet onions are usually ready for harvest in late summer, from July to August, once the foliage begins to yellow and fall over. Carefully lift the bulbs and allow them to dry in a warm, dry spot with good air circulation.

How to Get the Best Results:
Ensure consistent watering during dry spells, and keep weeds under control to promote healthy growth. Regular care, proper spacing, and good soil preparation will result in a high-quality, bountiful crop.
