Onions

Onions are a staple in Estonian gardens, appreciated for their versatility and robust growth. Whether you are cultivating onions for fresh use, salads, or storage, our selection offers varieties suited for different needs and seasons. From early to late harvest types, including spring onions and overwintering cultivars, you can find seeds ideal for open fields, greenhouses, or even urban gardens.

Choose Your Onion Variety

• Early varieties: Suitable for quick harvests, these onions mature in approximately 120 days and are perfect for those who want a fast start in the garden season.
• Medium-late and late varieties: These provide longer storage life and are ideal for winter use, with large, sweet bulbs fitting for fresh consumption and canning.
• Spring and bunching onions: Including evergreen chives and Welsh onions, these do not form bulbs but offer fresh green harvests multiple times per year, suitable for balcony or container gardening.

Growing Tips for Estonian Gardeners

• Sowing time: Most onion seeds are sown from April to May for summer harvest, while overwintering varieties are sown in late summer or early autumn for early summer harvest.
• Soil conditions: Onions thrive in well-drained, sandy loam or humus-rich soils with good sun exposure. Crop rotation with cucumbers, tomatoes, and root vegetables helps improve yield and soil health.
• Spacing: Maintain recommended distances between plants (usually 20-40 cm between rows and 5-15 cm between plants) to ensure optimal growth and bulb development.
