Centurion onion sets are of the yellow, round variety. Known for their delicious flavour and versatility in the kitchen, these onions are a staple in many households. Whether you're cooking up a mouth-watering stir-fry, a savoury soup, or simply adding a touch of flavour to your favourite dishes, these onions will not disappoint. Red Baron onions are a round red onion which are mild in flavour and are perfect in salads and salsas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOIL PREPARATION: Onions require a well drained, fertile soil that will need to be deeply dug over before planting. \u003cbr\u003eFor the best results dig in organic compost or manure a few weeks before planting. \u003cbr\u003eThis will help add nutrients, improve soil structure and hold moisture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLANTING: Plant the sets from March to April \u003cbr\u003ePrepare the rows 22cm apart and then space the bulbs 10cm apart and 2-5cm deep along each row. \u003cbr\u003ePress the bulbs gently into the ground, nose facing upwards, cover them with a thin layer of soil and firm the soil around the bulb.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCARE: Keep the area weed free by regular hoeing and ensure the bulbs remain covered with soil. \u003cbr\u003eKeep them well watered during the growing season \u003cbr\u003eStop watering when the bulbs have swollen and expose the top of the bulbs to the light by gently pulling back the earth around them. \u003cbr\u003eBreak off any flower stems that may appear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHARVESTING: When the leaves turn yellow and the foliage collapses leave in the ground for 2 more weeks before lifting. \u003cbr\u003eLift gently from underneath using a fork so as not to damage any bulbs. \u003cbr\u003eRemove any dirt, roots and brittle stems, spread them out in a crate or on a sack to enable them to dry for 7-10 days. \u003cbr\u003eWhen dry they can be placed in nets or tied together and hung in a cool but frost free place within a dry and well ventilated environment. \u003cbr\u003eThese may then be stored for up to 8 months. \u003cbr\u003eGrown from cultivated stock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jamieson Brothers","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":57343339037017,"sku":"jamedi-69","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/8757\/5385\/files\/8_1_7418a28c-941e-47ae-b2d8-456ae63c7a26.jpg?v=1775040639","url":"https:\/\/jamiesonbrothers.com\/products\/de-ree-onion-sets-twin-pack-of-centurion-and-red-baron-2-x25-bulbs-1","provider":"Jamieson-brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
