Summary
With so many varieties of onions to choose from, it is important to know their growing conditions. Common environmental conditions affecting plant growth are temperature, nutrients, water, sunlight, pests and air quality. The proper development of onions in the fall requires seeds or plants of a "short day" lengths variety such as Grano, Granex, California Early Red or Crystal White Wax (white Bermuda). Yellow or white Spanish and Globe are "long day" varieties for spring planting.
Boiling and pickling onions can also be planted now but it is best to plant them three or four months before you want them for pickling. Green bunching onions that do well in our area include Evergreen White, Southport White, White Lisbon and Tokyo Long White. These onions can be planted every three weeks from September through March and are ready for harvest when they are to inch in diameter.See the full content of this document
