ONIONS

When planting onions in your garden, make sure you situate them in full sun. Onions are shallow rooted and grow best with steady watering, especially during the bulbing phase. Adequate air circulation helps reduce the risk of foliage disease. Keep an eye out for onion maggot, whose hatched larvae crawl into the bulb and feed on the roots, stem, and developing bulb which will destroy your crop. With their unique flavors--some strong and overpowering, some mild and sweet--onions can be added to nearly any dish and can be cooked every way, as well as eaten raw.

COMMON PESTS: Thrips, Leaf Miners, Onion Maggot

SUSCEPTIBLE TO: Damping Off, Black Mold, Fusarium Wilt, Downy Mildew, Rot, Smut, White Rot
