Onion sets for greens planting and care in the open field

Plucking a bunch of green onions in early spring is a delight. For the owner of a country house or summer cottage, it is easy to get a feather for greenery. A polycarbonate greenhouse will speed up the process.

Types and varieties of onions that give dense greens

Multi-primordial varieties give dense greens. Consider the most productive varieties - a multi-primordial variety that gives a large amount of feathers per season and popular varieties of shallots:

Chipoluccio

Chipoluccio is an early ripening, fruitful shallot variety. The greens after planting can be cut off after 2-3 weeks. The pen has original pungent taste... Bulb weight up to 50 g. The growing season is 70 days.

Aristocratic

Aristocratic - shallots. From one sowing bulb in the nest, from 6 to 12 pieces of new ones are formed, weighing from 50 to 100 g. People call this species a family one.

The variety is early ripening, full-fledged bulbs ripen in 70 days. Cut greens are ready in 4 weeks.

The Aristocratic variety is used to produce greens on an industrial scale.

From one onion of the Aristocratic variety, 6-12 new ones are formed

Old Russian

Old Russian (red, yellow) is a type of shallot. Produces a powerful, bright green feather with a waxy coating. Seed material is stored well and for a long time (2 years). The variety is resistant to many diseases of bulbous crops. Up to 10 pieces are formed in the nest.

Reproduction is only vegetative, since the arrows are not formed. Gardeners consider this species most cost-effective for forcing greens... Cut shallots are ready 20-30 days after planting.

Lilac ringing

Chive bow Lilac ringing is 7 kg of greens per season from 1 sq.m. soil. The variety is early ripe, when grown in open ground, the cut is carried out after 20 days. Several cuts are carried out over the summer. The variety is frost-resistant.

Studgarten Riesen

Stuttgarten Riesen is a multi-primordial, high-yield variety with good immunity to most diseases. The productivity of the variety is high.

If there are 4-6 primordia in the seed from 1 sq. m get up to 15 kg of greens.

When is the best time to plant onions on greens outdoors

For home consumption, a turnip for greenery can be planted in open ground at the end of April, provided that the earth has warmed up and its temperature at night and morning hours is not lower than 12 degrees.

For commercial purposes, turnip greens are grown in a greenhouse. If there is heating there, forcing can be done throughout the year.

On an industrial scale, green onions are grown in greenhouses.

The main thing you need to get a pen:

• high-quality seed;
• fertile substrate;
• watering;
• top dressing;
• backlight.

A full harvest of green feathers is obtained with 12 hour daylight hours. For cultivation in greenhouses, select varieties with a short dormant period.

With a long daylight hours, the optimum air temperature 18-22 degrees... The yield drops at lower temperatures. Higher air temperatures reduce product quality.

How to plant sevok correctly

There are proven methods for planting turnip greens. Experienced gardeners successfully apply planting methods:

• pavement;
• tape.

Bridge way of landing

In addition to the landing method, it is important choose the right place and prepare fertile soil (substrate) before sowing any variety.

Choosing a place for growing

When choosing a place for planting sevka on greens, take into account the principles of crop rotation.

Plant after crops:

• cucumbers;
• zucchini;
• pumpkins;
• cabbage;
• a tomato;
• potatoes.

In the shade, the onion grows poorly, the feather is pale and thin. It is better to arrange ridges in an open, sunny position... During rains, there should be no stagnation of moisture on it.

Competent soil preparation for planting

We prepare a bed for planting in the fall before planting. Determine the acidity of the soil. With increased acidity, add dolomite flour... Consumption - 50 g-per sq. m. Onions love loose soils with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5.

With increased acidity of the soil, add dolomite flour

In the fall, under the digging, add:

• Humus ½ bucket;
• Superphosphate 2 tbsp. l;
• Potassium chloride 1 tbsp. l.

Consumption is indicated per sq. m. Dig up the soil 20 cm with a shovel or walk-behind tractor. In the spring, dig it up again and make urea 10 g-sq. m. 7 days before sowing, water the ridge with solution copper sulfate... Pour 10 liters of water into a watering can and dissolve 20 g of the drug in it.

Planting onions for forcing on a feather

Good greenery growth will provide quality seed.

Bulbs should be stored in a warm room until planting. Before planting seed sevka in the garden, they need to be sorted out. Discard damaged copies. Sort by size. Bulbs give the greatest yield of feathers from 2 to 4 cm diameter, weighing from 15 to 40 g.

For growing onions on a feather, it is best to choose bulbs 2-4 cm in diameter.

Experienced gardeners recommend before planting to carry out activities that increase yields, accelerate germination:

1. The selected material must be moistened and, within 48 hours, kept in a warm room at an air temperature of 25 degrees.
2. Quarter length trim off the tops near the bulbs.
3. Dissolve 30 g of ammonium nitrate in 10 liters of warm water (35 degrees), lower the bulbs in it for 16 hours.

Approximate consumption of sevka with the bridge method 13 kg per sq.m... The consumption is high, because the bulbs are stuck into the ground tightly to each other. The aisles are not made. The advantages of this method are obvious:

• the landing area is saved;
• all the forces of the plant go to the formation of the feather.

The bridge method is especially useful for growing onions in greenhouses.

The tape method involves formation of furrows at intervals of 10 cm... The bulbs are placed in the grooves tightly to each other or with a small 1-2 cm indent. Furrows are covered with a thin layer of earth (2 cm).

Tape method of planting onions

Care rules

The main care of the crop outdoors is in the right watering... In its absence, the feather is bitter and thin. With an excess of the bulbs rot, the harvest suffers.

To maintain the required humidity, take into account the weather and check the soil moisture at a depth of 3 cm. It is roughly recommended to water 2 times a week in the absence of rain.

Water only in the evening. This will eliminate unnecessary heating of the soil. Onions do not like high temperatures.

If the soil is prepared correctly and filled with organic matter and mineral fertilizers, top dressing can be skipped. With the belt planting method, loosen the ground between the rows, remove weeds.

When to harvest green onions

Crop is harvested based on the length of the feather. The entire ridge will have seedlings of the same length, if the seeds were calibrated in size before planting and the seedlings of the same variety were planted.

The marketable size of onion feathers is 24-42 cm

For all grades, the requirements for the length of the feather are the same. The size is considered commodity from 24 to 42 cm... When this length is reached, the feathers are cut for sale or for personal consumption.

You don't need to spend a lot of time and effort to get a feather for greens for home consumption. Before forcing turnips for greens on a large scale, it is worth assessing your capabilities on a small volume. Choose the most productive variety, master the technology for the preparation of planting material and soil. With the right approach, success is guaranteed.

What meat broth without a golden onion, what vinaigrette without squares of emerald green onions? Do you remember that the first meal of Buratino was a large sweet onion? Juicy, crunchy, tear-beating, this best meat companion is always desirable on the kitchen table. We will find out how and when to plant seeds and seedlings in open ground in order to get a high-quality harvest of not only greens, but also heads. And so that the spring chores in the garden turn into a mountain of strong onions, a video describing the correct planting is attached to the article.

How does the bulb relate to air temperatures

Onions are a plant on their own mind, so if stored and grown at the wrong temperature, they can produce bulbs that are too small or even bloom - “go into the arrow”. The explanation for this must be sought in the origin of the plant.

This is a typical inhabitant of Asian semi-deserts, storing water in the succulent leaves of the bulb in order to survive the driest season. Its life cycle is structured in such a way that in the first year of its life the plant makes the largest possible reserves of sugars, and in the second year it blooms and forms "nigella" - small wrinkled seeds. But this is at home. In the middle lane, with relatively poor sun, in the first year the plant manages to form only tiny bulbs - sets. Next summer, turnip onions are obtained from them, another year later - seeds.

Planting material

The continental climate of Asia is rather harsh in winter, so onions are used to low temperatures during the dormant period. They contribute to the complete completion of the physiological maturation of flower buds. This means that if the bulbs were stored at 5-10 degrees, the culture will bloom in the spring. For the formation of vegetative buds, and therefore powerful greenery, higher temperatures are needed - 18-20 degrees. This corresponds to storing the seed in heated rooms, but not near batteries.

Site selection and soil preparation

Keeping in mind Asia, we select a site for the onion where we can create conditions close to optimal:

• in no way is it low or clay;
• sandy loam or, in extreme cases, peat;
• a lot of sun;
• good ventilation;
• no fresh manure, only rotted;
• as precursors - potatoes, cucumbers, peas.

Attention! Make sure that other types of onions, garlic and carrots do not turn out to be the predecessor of onions.

It is difficult for onions to survive among the weeds, so in the fall it is necessary to carry out a merciless fight against them.Having dug up the site, we wait for weed shoots, we process them on the leaves with the Tornado preparation (for 1 hundred square meters - 75 ml of the preparation diluted in 3 liters of water), remove the half-dead plants, wait for the surviving ones to rise and dig up again.

We apply fertilizers carefully: phosphorus-potassium fertilizers for autumn digging, and everything that contains nitrogen - for spring digging.

Preparing seedlings for vegetation

We divide the bulbs intended for planting into two fractions by size, at the same time removing completely dried and diseased ones. Small ones will be planted earlier, around the end of April. Firstly, they need more time to turn into full-fledged heads, and secondly, due to physiological underdevelopment, they are unlikely to start flowering shoots even at low temperatures.

Before planting onions, you need to store them correctly.

We plant the large fraction later, in May, since they have a better chance of blooming under the influence of frost.

With a high probability of being affected by fungal diseases (powdery mildew, peronosporosis), we treat the seedlings with a pink solution of potassium permanganate before planting.

Now let's decide what we want to get from our set: a head or a feather. In the first case, the bulbs are planted as they are, in the second, a few days before planting, the top must be cut off from them, this stimulates the growth of greenery.

As mentioned above, it depends on the air temperature during storage and in the initial period of growth whether the seedlings will give a strong turnip or frail arrows. Therefore, we make sure that the temperature is:

• about 20 degrees during storage;
• about 40 degrees before planting - for this, the sets are warmed up in the sun or even in hot water;
• the soil should warm up to 10-12 degrees at the time of planting.

Spring planting onions

Onions have a weak fibrous root system, so the soil for it must be ideally prepared: loosened, leveled and even rolled. On even beds, we draw furrows with a scoop cuttings in the west-east direction, leaving 20-25 cm between them.

Planting onions

We plant the bulbs at an interval of 8 to 12 cm (depending on the size of the fraction), press them into the soil so that then there is at least 3 cm of soil above them. If they turn out to be higher, they can stick out to the surface, which is fraught with death from a lack of moisture. Deeper embedding is less harmful, but, as a rule, affects the shape of future heads: they are formed elongated, which, however, is liked by many chefs.

We squeeze the onions with earth, sprinkle them, level the soil. In the future, we look after, as for any crop: we water, protect from pests, remove weeds, feed.

Advice. Try growing onions on the ridges. To do this, close them up very finely, and then rake the soil into rows from the aisles.

And how to get the set itself

Funny tiny sevka bulbs are obtained by sowing nigella. Coal-black, similar to crushed anthracite, onion seeds are soaked for 12 hours in a solution of potassium permanganate (remember powdery mildew) and in early May they are sown on the same ridges as the seedlings themselves, only they are planted smaller, within 1 cm.

The method of obtaining seedlings by seedlings is popular. The seeds are sown in convenient containers with soil and kept on a windowsill under a fluorescent lamp. After germination, the temperature is reduced as much as possible, for example, the seedlings are rearranged on a glazed loggia.

Waterlogging is dangerous for onion seedlings, so it is better to water it with a spray bottle. For open ground, it will be ready with a feather height of 12-15 cm. Planting time is the earliest, as soon as the ground thaws enough to form holes in it for plants.

Cut a plot for onions in your garden, provide him with proper care - and this doctor will repay the disease from seven with good: in broth, in salad, and in fragrant frying, he will contribute to the good health of your family.

Dear friends, the spring sun in May warms more and more confidently, which means that it's time to plant onions. We hope that you have already prepared the onion sets.

This is the name of a one-year-old onion grown from seeds (nigella) and representing a small onion.

Sevok can be grown independently from seed or purchased at garden centers and shops.

How to choose a set

It is important to choose the right quality planting material. Bulbs should not be shriveled, already sprouted. In this case, the supply of their nutrients has already gone to the feather, and a good turnip will not work.

Also inspect them for damage and rot, this is important because a good onion head will not turn out from such a set, it will be susceptible to disease, it will grow poorly, or it may even rot.

The principle applies here: quality is more important than cheapness. It is better to purchase a good planting material than a discounted one that does not meet these criteria.

Good set, small in size, dense, with a shiny, smooth, solid and tight husk.

When to plant onion sets in open ground

The most popular month for planting onions is May. Specific dates depend on your climate zone. In central Russia, onions can be planted throughout May, as long as the spring soil moisture remains, which the onion respects very much.

When planting onions, it is not even the date that is more important, but the weather conditions and soil temperature. There is no need to rush to land if the weather is cold and wet. You need to wait for warm days when the soil warms up to at least 15-20 degrees Celsius.

If you hurry and plant the bow in the cold ground, then it will not lead to anything good. Although the onion tolerates frost and cold well enough, its character deteriorates because of this. He will certainly take revenge on you and, instead of a good turnip and greenery, will grow you flower arrows.

Therefore, it is better to wait for stable warm weather without rain than to be left without a crop. Pay attention not only to the lunar calendar as the ultimate truth, but also to the weather forecast, it will be more accurate.

What to do to prevent the bow from going into the arrow

Even before planting, it is important to know why the sevok goes into the peduncle and how to avoid it.

The reason that the bow is shooting is the wrong storage temperature of the planting material, lack of adaptation before planting, violation of the rules of care.

Let's explain in more detail: onion sets must be stored at above-zero temperatures, because it is the cold that provokes the onion to create arrows. This is a signal to start a self-preservation program and sooner give offspring. Therefore, as soon as you plant such a seed, it will begin to give out flower stalks in order to give seeds faster.

The key to a large and strong onion turnip is storage in a comfortable environment without cold stress.

But what if you bought onion sets in a store and have no idea how it was stored? No problem. Purchased onions need to arrange an adaptation period.

To do this, for two weeks after the purchase, we keep the onion near the battery or in another warm place. And then we store before planting only at room temperature and in the dark, so that it does not start to germinate ahead of time.

If there is no time to warm up the battery or the heating has already been turned off, then you can proceed as follows: arrange a warm bath on the bow. Put the onion in a bowl of warm water (40-45) degrees and leave for 8 hours, periodically adding warm water. Then we take out the heads, dry it thoroughly and store it at room temperature until planting.

For planting on turnips, choose medium-sized heads, because large ones are more prone to shooting and are best planted on greenery. Do not plant in cold ground. For the same reason, cold watering should be avoided.

Processing and soaking onions before planting

First of all, when preparing the set for planting, you need to carefully sort it out. Equip yourself with multiple sorting containers.

It is necessary to discard all damaged and small specimens, leaving medium-sized onions for planting on the head. Large bulbs, small and even sprouted ones, are suitable for greens. But empty, wrinkled, missing - we throw it away.

Next, carefully cut off each dry tail at the crown with scissors. This simple operation will help them germinate faster and better. Well, you need to be afraid that an infection will get into the cut, because the sevok will be treated from diseases before planting.

Should onions soak before planting? And what is the best way to do it? Let's figure it out.

Of course, we are interested in our sevok growing large and at the same time being protected from diseases and parasites. Therefore, a simple scheme is usually used: first, the planting material is soaked in growth stimulants, and a little later, just before planting, it is treated with protective agents.

To feed the bulb so that it grows large, it is recommended to dilute the complex fertilizer in water (40-45 degrees) and soak the onion there overnight. When the sevok is saturated with usefulness, you can proceed to its protective processing and planting.

Most popular recipes:

• Soaking onions in potassium permanganate. We make a strong dark pink solution of potassium permanganate and soak the bulbs in it for 2-3 hours. After that, they will need to be rinsed under running water so that the concentrated potassium permanganate does not damage future young roots. Potassium permanganate prevents fungal and bacterial diseases.
• Soaking the onions in a saline solution. 1 tbsp. Dissolve 1 liter of salt in one liter of water, immerse the bulbs in it for 2-3 hours. Salt also prevents rotting and disease.
• Soaking in copper sulphate. 1 tsp of copper sulfate in 10 liters of water, for 10-15 minutes. Copper sulfate disinfects seedlings and protects them from diseases.

These are the time-tested ways to prepare onions. But time does not stand still, and we want to share with you new interesting recipes that will help to comprehensively protect plantings. One of these recipes is a combined treatment with salt, potassium permanganate and ash together, in one solution. How to do it, see below:

Processing onions before planting with salt, potassium permanganate and ash

For a three-liter jar of warm (60 degrees) water we take 2 tbsp. l with a slide of salt + dark pink solution of potassium permanganate + 2 tbsp. l of wood ash. Soak for 2 hours.

Treatment of onions before planting from pests with birch tar

The most nasty onion pest is, of course, the onion fly. Fortunately for us, she cannot stand the smell of birch tar. And if you want to protect your crops, then it would be useful to soak the onion in a solution as well: 1 tbsp. l. tar in a liter of water for 10-15 minutes.

With the same solution, you can additionally spill plantings during the growing season.

Onion planting and care in the open field

As we know, onions cannot be planted in the same place where the onion garden was also located last year. The likelihood of disease in this case greatly increases, and such plantings should be avoided.

Choose a place where tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, legumes, cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin, cabbage were previously planted. The earth after them retains its nutritional value, and this is necessary for the onion to grow a good turnip. Onions and carrots have good neighborly relations, they scare off each other's pests, so you can plant them side by side.

He also prefers that the soil is not heavy, loose and nutritious. Places like light, with good drainage, without moisture stagnation.

It is better to prepare the future onion bed in advance in the fall, loosen the soil well and add humus and compost. In the spring, one to two weeks before planting, we loosen the soil and spill it with organic humic fertilizers. Gumi Kuznetsova will do.

Planting onions on a turnip (on a head)

We prepare grooves with a depth of about 8-10 cm.The distance between them is at least 15 cm.

We spill them with Fitosporin solution for disinfection.You can use both powder (1 tsp per 10 l of water) and paste (1 tbsp of diluted paste per 10 l of water).

We plant our seedlings in the spilled grooves at a distance of 10 cm from each other. We put him on what is called "on the shoulders", i.e. not only to cover the roots, but much deeper. This is necessary so that the bulb has good contact with the soil and does not dangle, because it will not have roots soon.

Sprinkle wood ash on top as fertilizer and disinfection. And we fill the grooves with earth.

Planting onions on greens (on a feather)

When we do not have a goal to grow a turnip, but we only want greenery, then to save space, we suggest you use bridge planting.

This is when the bulbs are planted one to one very tightly and not very deep. In this case, planting in open ground is not necessary, you can use a container with earth. Or select a small spot in the garden.

Mixed feather and head fit at the same time

When we don't have a lot of space, but you want to grow good onions and eat greens, then this method will come in handy. We make grooves as usual, but we plant the sevok in them in a checkerboard pattern and quite often.

With such a goal that some of these seedlings will grow into a turnip, and some can be pulled as they grow, not greens and consumed fresh.

Otherwise, the steps are the same as in the classic turnip planting (see above).

Onion care

When we have organized a good bed, in a lighted place, with nutritious loose soil, we only have to weed it in time so that the weeds do not interfere with the growth of the crop. Watering is carried out after planting once a week.

Also, onions need frequent loosening of the soil (between rows and between plantings, especially after rain, so that the earth does not turn into a crust) and top dressing.

At the end of May, it is necessary to feed him with nitrogen-containing fertilizers, in mid-June - he already needs potassium fertilizers and ammonium nitrate. For those who prefer to do without chemicals, green fertilizers from weeds and nettles, vermicompost and ash are suitable.

Fertilizing with ammonia is also effective: 2 tbsp. Dissolve l of ammonia in 10 l of water, watered with such a product on damp ground, and not on dry. Therefore, we pre-moisten the beds. The ammonia will drive away pests and nourish your plantings with the necessary nitrogen.

We do this feeding with trids with an interval of 10 days. And you will forget about the yellowing of the onion feather, and the onion fly will not stick its nose on your beds.

So dear friends, there is nothing difficult in growing onions, you will definitely succeed.

Loamy soil is very good for growing onions, but acidic soil is unsuitable for growing.

The site must first be fertilized with mineral organic substances or manure. Do not immerse the bulbs deep in the soil; the neck should remain outside. Pour lukewarm water on the onion immediately after planting.

How to plant green onions

Planting onions in the spring on the head of gardeners frightens with possible shoots of "arrows" - rough stems with a flower ovary. It's okay, when there are only a few such flowers for the whole garden, however, a large number of them can significantly reduce your harvest, because the ovary will take all the strength, and the bulb will grow completely nondescript, but besides that, its core will be solid. Such an onion will not survive until spring - the core, as a rule, dries up and begins to rot, and with it the onion also rot. Large bulbs grown from seeds are most prone to the appearance of arrows. Therefore, before planting, sort the future crop by size.Planting a seeding or planting on a head is one and the same process, characterized by the planting of small bulbs obtained by planting seeds a year earlier. Experienced gardeners can grow a crop from seeds in one year, but this process requires a lot of time and effort, so the overwhelming majority plant just seedlings.

Instructions

• By the way, it is much easier to care for podzimny onions - seedlings begin to appear literally from under the snow cover, and the weeds simply cannot keep up with their active growth. When the weeds start chasing after, it will be much easier to pull out this unnecessary greens - the onion is already strong, well-rooted, and it will not be possible to pull it out along with the weed grass even if desired.
• The soil should be loose, neutral acidic - in heavy clay soils, onions grow poorly before winter. A place for sub-winter planting should always be chosen well-lit, in elevated places - this recommendation applies to any crop that is sent to the ground in late autumn. In the spring, the bed should be the first to free itself of snow and expose the black canvas of the earth to the sun's rays. If the landscape on your site is the same, then in the spring the garden bed can be covered with black agrofibre, which perfectly heats the soil under it. Another important nuance is that moisture should not stagnate in the garden bed, since excessive moisture is extremely bad for the bulbs.
• Many summer residents who are accustomed to planting onions in the spring will find it very perplexing to plant them in winter - is there any point in sending onions to the ground in the fall? There is a sense, especially if the previous harvests did not please you year after year, many bulbs fired arrows, pests annoyed you, and so on, and so on. As you know, if you want to get a different result, you need to do other things! Of course, we recommend that you practice first in small beds, leaving space in the garden for the spring planting of this culture - there are many nuances in the winter planting, you will not take everything into account at once, so get ready to learn from mistakes.
• During germination consists in weeding it from weeds and timely watering, as well as loosening to a depth of no more than 3 centimeters. The crust of soil, which turned out after rain or watering, must be carefully broken without damaging the onion, otherwise it can harm and slow down its growth.
• It is necessary to plant it in a moistened soil warmed up from 7 to 8 degrees Celsius.

When and how to plant onion sets in spring

If you decide to plant in open ground, then it is better to choose a time around the middle of May. It is better to closely monitor the condition of the soil.The most favorable moment is when the earth from above has dried out, but inside it is still wet and a lump forms when squeezed in the hand. This period just falls at the time of planting carrots. When planting by alternating onions with carrots, you will save the onions from many pests, since carrots release phytoncides that repel harmful insects.

Stages when spring planting onions

1. Wide band
2. The bow is very fond of light
3. Use top dressing in the form of ammonium nitrate (dilute 20 grams of nitrate per 8 liters of water), potassium chloride (15 grams per 7-8 liters of water), superphosphate (15 grams per 8 liters of water). The first feeding is necessary already a week after planting the onions. The second - 8-10 days after the first feeding. The duration of growing green onions in the spring is about a month. After the feathers of the onion have reached a length of 30-40 centimeters, they are harvested by hand.

Preparing the land for sowing or planting onions

You can correct the situation even before planting - experienced gardeners recommend immersing large specimens in water heated to 50 ° C for one minute.Potatoes, peas and beans, cabbage are excellent precursors for bulb beds, however, replanting them in the same place even within two years cannotOtherwise, caring for onions planted in such an unusual way is no different. Watering onions in dry season should be as soon as you notice that the greens are bent in places - this indicates the wilting of the plants. However, in the second half of May - early June, watering is already completely stopped, since at this time the bulbs begin to ripen. On poor soils, top dressing will not be superfluous, which is applied in the form of watering. For the nutritional composition, a glass of bird droppings or mullein is diluted for 10 liters of water, a tablespoon of urea will not hurt. Three liters of this liquid should be distributed per square meter of planting.

So, as soon as the right weather is formed, you will already have everything ready for planting! By the way, this way you also win a lot of spring time, when you need to plant everything at once - the onions are already in the ground. In no case should you soak sevok before planting - plant it without any manipulation. Melt water, which will water the garden in excess in spring, is an excellent growth stimulant and kills many pathogens. Nature has taken care of everything, hasn't it?The first advantage that you will notice when sowing in winter is saving on planting material. If larger, more impressive bulbs are planted in the spring, then in this case you will need the smallest set, whose diameter is on average less than 1 centimeter. First of all, they try to get rid of it in the fall - by the spring it simply will not survive, it will dry out, and therefore they are sold at the lowest prices. So much of this planting material is placed in a liter jar that you will get tired of planting it.Harvesting must begin in late summer or early autumn, when the green feathers gain growth and full strength. With a strong desire, the feathers can be plucked earlier, then they will be very young small shoots.

Sowing onions with seeds

To begin with, before planting sevka, you need

Sevki are small onions... The distance between the centers of the strips should be 30 centimeters, while the seeds themselves are laid to a depth of about 2 to 3 centimeters. There is a little trick, if after two weeks you make the next sowing, then you will get a continuous harvest of green succulent onions., So the place must be sufficiently lit. The interval for growing onions in one place should be no more than 3-4 years. Therefore, plan a site for planting, coordinating with other perennials in advance. Onions grow well if vegetables such as legumes, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini and potatoes were grown in the soil before.

Planting and tending onions

In the spring, onions left for storage begin to sprout. In order not to throw it away, you can grow green onions at home. Pour peat-soil into a box or pot (depending on the amount of planting material) and plant the bulbs in it, close to each other. Water well and after 10 days place in a well-lit place (windowsill). It is necessary to water the onions 1-2 times a week. If the bulbs are not germinated, then they should first be soaked in warm water for a day, then cut off the neck and planted in the ground.Then they should be kept in a warm, damp cloth for a day, and another two days in water at room temperature. The rest of the planting material will not hurt to withstand three days at the heating battery, since without warming up even small bulbs can shoot an arrow. You can also soak the seedlings in a compound fertilizer solution for 10 hours.

• If fungal diseases are rampant on your site, be sure to spray the plants with antifungal when they reach a height of 15-18 cm. For spraying, you can use good old copper sulfate or more modern antiseptic preparations. Vitriol is diluted in a proportion of 1 teaspoon per 10 liters of water and a tablespoon of liquid soap must be added so that the product adheres well to the onion feathers.
• Of course, a good onion variety is needed for a good harvest. Any zoned one, preferably checked by you on spring plantings, will do. Unless absolutely southern varieties that are afraid of frost are not suitable. Today, you can already find a special set for winter plantings, but so far this is a rarity. In central Russia, varieties such as

The second advantage that owners of small land plots will especially like is a very early harvest. Your onion will be fully ripe in July! After harvesting, the garden bed can be planted with early ripening crops, greens - they will have plenty of time to grow. Another plus of early ripening is the absence of an onion fly at the time of the appearance of the first shoots. The active breeding season for the onion fly falls in the second half of May, and by that time the podwinter onion will get stronger, the greens will become denser and more persistent, the larvae will no longer be as scary to it as to spring plantings. And one more pleasant bonus - in July, when the time comes to remove the onions from the garden, you will have plenty of time, because the bulk of the crops are still turning green with might and main.

• , Which are obtained from the first harvest of seeds. To get a good harvest of onions and prevent greens from being pushed into the arrow, you must adhere to the following requirements:Based on the opinion of professional summer residents, gardeners,Before plowing the soil, on it
• Greens are very useful for our body, as they contain a huge amount of nutrients. Therefore, everyone tries to plant a different number of crops in his garden, such as dill, parsley, onions, cabbage and others. In addition to healthy qualities, greens also add spice to dishes and refresh the table. Onions play a huge role in the treatment of various ailments and appetite stimulation during meals.

Even in one season, pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms are concentrated in the ground under the onion, which harm this particular plant. Pests also join the whole "bouquet" of diseases. Against this background, the depletion of the top layer of soil after onions does not seem to be such a big problem. Therefore, plan your beds so that the onions change their place of "residence" annually and are planted away from the previous place, at least through one bed.Garlic and carrots will be undesirable predecessors for it, you cannot plant it in those places where cucumber seeds grew, therefore it is very important to carry out a thorough planning of the garden.Harvesting should be done after the formation of new feathers has stopped, the stems have died together, and the bulbs in the ground have acquired a characteristic color for the variety. This is best done in dry weather. The stems and roots should be cut off immediately with a knife or scissors. Be sure to dry the onions in a shaded, ventilated area and only after this procedure should they be stored in a dry corner of your cellar or attic. It is possible that this experiment will become your favorite way of planting onions.Danilovsky, Strigunovsky, Arzamassky.

The winter planting will certainly appeal to those who grow onions for sale - an early harvest allows you to earn much more money for it than at a time when this crop is ripe for everyone in the garden. And do not worry about storage - although most early vegetables are not suitable for long-term consumption, these onions will feel great after drying all winter.

And sprinkle them with ashes. The distance between the sets should be about 8 centimeters. When planting sevok, it is strictly forbidden to press in, since over time the soil will push it out. When planting, the bulbs should be at the top almost at the surface of the soil and, therefore, about 2 centimeters deep.Before planting, in about two weeks, the seedlings must be warmed up for 10 - 12 hours to a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, using closed heating elements, such as, for example, a room battery or a stove. Then the sevok should be viewed and removed from the diseased and dry. This is necessary in order to

It is considered one of the few cultivated plants that is cold hardy. It tolerates spring frosts quite easily. Green onions contain a large amount of vitamin C and minerals necessary for everyone's health. Eating greens during spring beriberi helps to increase immunity and fight colds. And how nice it is to pinch off young feathers of green onions grown in your own summer cottage.

Of course, for each region the same landing conditions cannot be, but you can navigate by weather signs. If frosts are no longer expected, the spring turned out to be early and warm, you can plant onions as soon as the soil warms up a little. At a later spring, disembarkation occurs throughout April and even at the beginning of May, the same dates are also relevant for larger bulbs.In the spring I plant as early as possible and the heads are 2-3 cm in diameter. They usually produce a good green mass. in parallel or a little later, I plant smaller onions, but it also fits later and not so evenly. For a family, we have enough beds with a total area of ​​7-8 square meters. It is better to plant onions every 10-14 days throughout spring, so you will have green onions on the table longerHowever, on the market you will probably be offered a mixture of various varieties - we need the smallest one, and it is often considered waste.

Planting before winter - experimenting with onions

The essence of the experiment - what do we get?

The timing of planting onions in winter is the most important nuance in this whole experiment. It is simply impossible to give an exact date! In the middle lane, frosts usually begin in mid-October.But from year to year, the weather can present the most unexpected surprises, such as a prolonged thaw after snowfall or thorny frosts during a period when, according to all forecasts, it should still be warm. Therefore, be guided strictly by the current situation - the optimal situation for planting onions is a situation when frosts make themselves felt every night, but there are still several weeks of relatively warm weather ahead.

Make your purchase two to three weeks before boarding. Purchased sets should be stored at room temperature and exposed to light, and can also be kept in the sun. Experience shows that after such storage, it rises a week and ripens ten days earlier.

If planted under a film, then the planting is done two weeks earlier. And the procedure for planting and leaving does not differ from that described above.

Preserve healthy sevok

Choosing the right time - planting or waiting?

- this is the month of May, since the probability of frost is already minimal, severe flooding and flooding of the soil and other negative nuances are much less than in the other months of spring. It is necessary to decide on the method of landing, namely:

With the calculation of 5 square meters approximately one bucket. This leads to a decrease in all kinds of pests in the soil, and also fertilizes the soil. In this case, the greatest result will be if the ash is dry and fresh. Also, before planting on the ground, it is advisable to apply 2-3 annual humus about 3-4 kilograms per square meter, then you will get juicy green onion feathers.Sowing onions with seeds; For forcing green onions does not require a lot of light, so it can be grow not only in open ground in summer, but also in autumn and winter in panics, greenhouses and even indoors. For growing onions on a feather, choose one of the following varieties: Arzamas, Bessonovsky or Rostov. For planting, there is a large-sized set or onion-picks. The best harvest will be obtained when using a sample, the diameter of the bulb should be 3-4 centimeters.

The recommended planting depth is 7-10 cm, that is, it will be enough to take a glanders and dig a furrow with its edge.

The earliest possible is the beginning of April in the greenhouse. Take onions, both sprouted and not sprouted as you have. Leave the sprouted so, and cut off the non-sprouted from above with a knife. Then fill it all overnight in a bucket with cold water. The next day, drain the water and plant this onion in the greenhouse. Not too deep, the very top should not be underground. And after 2 weeks you will have a great green onion.

The nuances of winter landing - do not overlook!

It is important to sort out the onions well before winter - to calibrate the planting material, discard dried and diseased bulbs. First, plant the coarse fraction, then the medium, and separately - the smallest, which usually goes to greens. Calibration significantly improves the yield - the onion emerges more amicably, grows everywhere at the same speed. Planting should be deeper than we do in spring - in grooves 4–5 cm deep. A shallower planting is fraught with freezing of the seedlings, because compared to the same garlic, the winter hardiness of onions is much lower. it can not only take root, but also sprout. Greens, alas, will freeze out already at the first severe frosts. If you are late, then the onion will not have time to take root before winter and until spring will simply lie in the ground in a state of deep sleep - in this case, almost all the advantages of such planting are leveled. If you are going to plant onions on a feather, you must cut off the entire neck before planting, but if on a turnip, then you can not cut anything.

After the seedlings have been planted, the beds are watered abundantly with water. Do not forget that in dry and even hot weather, the onion must be watered quite often, but not flooded.

From the so-called oversporosis or in the popular way - powdery mildew. It manifests itself on onions in the form of brittle feathers, yellowing and stunting, and also affects during a period of prolonged moisture saturation;

Spring chores with winter bow

Plant in open ground;

The temperature at which the seeds will germinate should be no lower than plus two degrees Celsius, so the ideal time for sowing onion seeds is after the frost has passed at night. It is also possible to sow onions earlier in order to get an early harvest, but when the temperature is already above zero during the day, and wrap the onions with foil at night.

Planting and grooming onions.

Onions are planted in early spring, you can do this in autumn (in winter). In this case, it is important to root the bulbs well before frost. Plant the bulbs in rows, at a distance of 10-15 centimeters from each other, the distance between the rows should be 6-8 centimeters. About 5-8 kilograms of onions are planted per square meter. On highly fertile soil, you can plant onions in another way - by paving. In this case, the bulbs are planted close to each other, and much more planting material will be consumed.

In this matter, it is important not to overdo it with waiting - if you are late with planting, the bow will start to release a lot of feathers, while the root system will lag behind the upper part. After a while, the greens, of course, will stick, but the bulbs will no longer be able to grow more. But even too early, when there are frosts in the morning, the bulbs should not be planted, otherwise they may suffer from too long stay in the ground without growth. The first shoots can appear in a few days or a week, depending on the temperature of the soil.

How to properly plant onions on greens in spring?

I wonder why not a word about the perennial batun onion? Once planted (sown), and 3-4 years only cut and water, during the summer you can cut 3-4-5 times, but it keeps growing. The onions of the samples can be sown in the first year of sowing the trampoline, since there will be almost no harvest in the first year of harvest, and then it is already a problem to have time to use - otherwise it will begin to bloom. After 3-4 years, the bushes grow strongly and they can already be transplanted and rejuvenated. The transplanted bushes will yield crops in the same year, that is, there will be no further break ...

Frans Hasanovich Khalilov, Bugulma

Maintain the distance between the grooves at least 15 cm, and between the bulbs - 5-7 cm. It may seem that there is too much space between the sets, but if you do everything correctly, then in May the onions will be large and take up all the free space allocated for him. You can plant it thicker if part of the onion goes to greens. To protect the bed from freezing, it should be covered with spruce branches, or a large layer of foliage from forest trees, straw or plant stems. This should be done after the first frost has taken hold of the soil - by covering the ground, which is hard from frost, we will eliminate the risk of the seedlings drying out.

In order not to lose a precious moment, we recommend that you prepare a bed in advance - dig up the soil on a shovel bayonet with the addition of wood ash and bird droppings.
