Sweet Onion Seedlings

Enjoy a bumper crop of onions this year by letting us do the hard work!  

Our "Candy" onions are so easy to plant, and even easier to care for!  Plant, keep them watered, and let the sun do the rest.

Candy onions are a light yellow, globe shaped, and very sweet.  They store in ideal conditions for up to 3 months after harvest, though respond very well to being chopped fresh and then frozen. Pro tip: dice or chop onions and freeze in muffin tins. Then throw them in a freezer safe container for easy access to portioned home-grown onions!

To grow a full-sized onion in Northern VA, you would need to start them from seed in late fall the year before.  So if you're late to the game but still want to enjoy fresh onions this summer (and trust me, you do!), order onion seedlings.  They're as easy as popping them into the ground. 

One bunch is (at minimum) 48 onions.

Photos show a bunch of onion sets, and then also sets that are planted in trays prior to the garden; a great way to get a head start!
