Favorable periods
If the gardener decided to refuse to buy ready-made planting material and is going to grow onions from seeds on his own, he should familiarize himself with the lunar calendar. The table shows the dates suitable for planting a crop.
When choosing a month, take into account the climate in the region in which the seedlings will be planted. The further north the vegetable garden is located, the later the manipulation should be carried out.
Sift out low-quality seeds first. To do this, pour the entire batch into a container with heated water, wait an hour. Empty seeds will float up and can be removed and discarded. The material selected for seedlings is wrapped in wet gauze, immersed in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate. This measure helps to destroy pathogens.
An hour later, the seeds are removed, placed in water. Then they are laid out on gauze or other cloth. The material is moistened, after which it is left for 7 days in order for shoots to appear. Seeds should be moistened as they dry.
Timing for different regions
The Exibishen variety is suitable for growing in the Moscow region, in the Urals, in Siberia. The bulbs grow large, juicy, not bitter. The only drawback is considered to be poor keeping quality, due to which it is not possible to harvest the crop for the winter.
In Siberia, in the Urals, seeds should be sown at the end of the last winter month. In good weather, early warming, seedlings can be transferred to open ground by early June. For hardening on the street or on the balcony, such plantings are taken out in the second half of May. Since the temperature conditions in the northern regions often change, you will have to cover the onions with foil at night. Otherwise, it may freeze and die.
In central Russia, at home, planting is carried out from the end of winter to the beginning of spring. If the year is warm, the onions will be planted in the open ground by the beginning of May.
In the Moscow region, seeds are sown at home in the first decade of March. The period from 4 to 8 lunar days is suitable. By the end of May or the beginning of June, the weather becomes favorable for planting crops in the garden.
