Care Instructions
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist. Spring onions have shallow roots and can dry out quickly.
- Weeding: Keep the area around the spring onions free of weeds, which can compete for water and nutrients. Hand-weed carefully to avoid disturbing the shallow roots.
- Feeding: Spring onions generally don't require heavy feeding. However, a light application of a balanced liquid fertilizer a few weeks after germination can give them a boost.
- Pest and Diseases: Spring onions are generally relatively pest and disease-free. However, keep an eye out for onion fly and downy mildew.
- Onion Fly: This pest can lay eggs at the base of the plants, and the larvae can damage the roots. Using insect netting can help prevent access. Good crop rotation can also reduce the risk.
- Downy Mildew: This fungal disease can occur in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
- Harvesting: Spring onions 'Eiffel' are typically ready for harvest relatively quickly, usually within 8-12 weeks from sowing, depending on the size you prefer. Simply pull them gently from the soil when they reach the desired size. You can harvest them at any stage, from small seedlings to larger bulbs with longer green tops. Regular harvesting will also encourage further growth.
Enjoy your fresh and flavourful Spring Onion 'Eiffel'! Their ease of growth and quick turnaround make them a rewarding addition to any garden.
