Autumn - this time not only to make blanks for the winter season, but also to take care of the future harvest, pre landed able to "hibernate" in the culture of the soil. To those concerns and onion sets, which is about planting before winter I'll discuss in this article.
Important stuff - a brief educational program
Before we move on to the review of specific varieties - a few basic rules for the selection and planting Seva:
- Try to select bulbs are not more than 1 cm in diameter (by itself - and healthy undamaged);
- Immediately discard the southern and spring varieties - the first is not suitable for planting before winter, and the second will go to the arrow after frequent spring frosts.
- It is best to give preference to grades, feel good with a 12-hour photoperiod.
- In most regions of our country until the middle of May in the soil retained enough moisture for winter onions, so water it almost to the end of spring I do not recommend.
So when all of the recommendations into account, you can switch to the best, in my humble opinion, varieties.
1. Red Baron
I can not help myself - very much I like this almost purple on the outside and white inside reddish-grade.
In addition a pleasant appearance, onion boasts rapid ripening period, spicy tangy flavor and onions weight to 150 grams. However, I often receive a copy smaller: a neighbor says that more bulbs will grow only if them through seedlings instead Onion.
2. Strigunovsky
These small (45-80 g) bulbs are rounded whitish pulp and yellow-brown husk.
The taste is very sharp and fine grade is stored for a long time, but it is too often subject to attacks by pests and diseases. It refers to early-maturing varieties of onions.
3. Shakespeare
Mid-grade with rather poetic name.
Onions grow quite large (up to 250 grams) and round. Do not be deceived dryish scales - under it you will find a juicy, slightly spicy flesh. "Shakespeare" has a fairly good lozhkostyu, resistant to frost and almost never goes to the arrows.
4. Radar
That's what exactly is breaking all records for durability, so it is a winter variety of "Radar".
When the winter snow, he is able to easily withstand twenty below, and the spring will never go in the arrow, it is almost do not take the disease and pests are not precipitated. At least one row of the bow I drop on my site each season.
5. Senshu
Another great variety, not to let the shooter and is able to store up to six months in the cellar without a loss in taste.
Senshu referred to as early-maturing varieties. In addition, one beds "Senshuya" I was able at times to collect almost the same amount of onions, but with two beds of other varieties.
