Onion - Candy

Product Info

The large yellow onions have light brown skins and are famous for their mild sweet flavor. Each round onion is up to 4" across with crisp flesh. This variety stores well so you can enjoy its great flavor months after harvest. Low in fat and calories, onions are also a good source of Vitamin C and fiber. Use raw or in cooking.

Water:	Water regularly, but do not over water.
Mature:	80-90 days
Harvest:	Onions can be used fresh anytime during the garden season. When 50% of the onion tops begin to fall over and turn yellow, step gently on the rest of the tops. Leave in the ground for a few days, then use a garden fork to "lift" the onions from the soil. Brush excess soil from the onions. Move to an airy, warm, dry place to dry for 2-3 weeks. Use an old pair of pantyhose and drop an onion in, tie a knot above the onion and then add another onion. Tie a knot above the second onion, add another, and so on. Hang the pantyhose in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. A closet or cellar with a temperature of 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal. To release an onion from the pantyhose, simply cut the hose with scissors right under the bottom knot.
Planting and Growing Tips:	Avoid planting by beans, peas, and parsley.
