Onions are an easy edible crop to grow as long as you have a sunny site. You can grow them from seed or from bulbs purchased at a garden store. Grow them in containers, raised bed, or the ground as long as each bulb has at least 6 inches of space.
Tips For Growing Onions
1. The easiest way to grow onions is from "sets", which are bags of baby onions sold in garden stores. Simply pop them into the ground and watch them mature in 14 weeks! You can push them into the ground with a finger (in good, soft soil) and your planting job is complete.
2. Don't plant them too close together. Onions grow fairly large under the ground and on top of the soil, so give them some room. When onions are planted too closely together, they end up growing oddly and neither competing onion turns out particularly well.
3. White, yellow, and red onions are all easy to grow. Everyone has different tastes, some preferring the sweet yellow onions (like Vidalias), while others enjoy the bite of a fresh red (purple) onion.
