Big onion

Big Onion is a rewarding kitchen staple producing large, firm bulbs with a rich, pungent flavour essential to everyday cooking. Best grown in the cooler season, onions need loose, fertile soil and steady sunshine to bulb up well. Sow seeds in trays, transplant the seedlings into full sun in well-draining soil, water regularly, and harvest mature bulbs in about 100–120 days once the tops fall over. Home-grown onions store well and taste wonderfully fresh — a satisfying, useful crop for garden beds, grow bags and kitchen gardens.
