Karen, Regarding transplanting onions, as long as you keep the plants watered well to prevent the roots from drying out, they should be fine. Since the top of the soil tends to be warmer and dries out quicker, burying the onions several inches deep helps to ensure moisture retention and protects the roots. As for trimming the tops of the onions, I generally don’t recommend it. The tops play a crucial role in photosynthesis, allowing the onion to generate energy and grow. Trimming the tops can hinder this process and may negatively affect the overall growth and development of the onions. It’s best to leave the tops intact for optimal results.

I particularly appreciated the tips on selecting the right type of onion for your garden and the advice on when to plant and how to care for them. The detailed information on soil preparation and watering requirements was also very helpful.

I’ve grown onions before, but I learned a few new things from this article that I will definitely be putting into practice this year. I especially liked the idea of using onion sets, which I haven’t tried before, and I can’t wait to see the results.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise in onion gardening. This article is a great resource for anyone who wants to grow their own onions and enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting fresh, homegrown produce.
