Sow in early spring in 2-4" wide bands or single rows 4" apart, about 1/2" between seeds. Cover 1/4- 1/2". Thinning is not necessary. Keep free of weeds. As with all onions, full sun, consistent soil moisture, and a fertile soil with a pH of 6.2-6.8 are preferable.
The Package Each year, Hudson Valley Seeds commissions contemporary artists from around the United States to tell the story of a particular seed variety. That art and those seeds combine to create an Art Pack, a unique celebration of the diverse stories of seeds and their stewards.
The Artist Chelsea Granger's work often explores the overlap between earth and spirit dimensions. In this gouache and watercolor piece, she creates a sense of expansive time and space to show the onion in all stages of growth, connected to the people who tend it every step of the way to celebrating its harvest.
