Not all summer residents and gardeners prefer to plant onions before the onset of winter.
At the same time, this method has a lot of advantages that everyone should know about.
Why is it worth planting onions in winter?
The first reason is economic benefit. Small onion sets, which are sown before winter, are quite inexpensive, because it is almost impossible to store them during the winter.
Therefore, the seed material will be cheaper than in the spring.
Secondly, sowing onions in the winter allows you to save time in the spring, when the main work on the site begins.
The third reason is that small onion sets sown before winter do not go to seed. However, with regular planting, every second onion often produces a flower stalk.
Another good reason is the early harvest. The first onions appear already in July, which is ideal for those who prefer to sell part of the harvest.
The earlier the new harvest appears, the more expensive it can be sold later.
