Onion, Tonda Musona
Allium cepa
This white Italian variety yields beautiful round onions that can be used fresh in salads or dried for the winter. Early and frost resistant.
Growing instructions
Sow directly into the field in March in rows 30 cm apart. Intercropping with carrots is a possibility. Just slightly cover seeds with soil and pack lightly. Keep weed free. Harvest in August and September. Store in a dry, cool place such as a root cellar. Sowing into seedling trays with 2–3 seeds per compartment and then transplanting at a distance of 30 ✕ 10 cm, gives a good crop of uniform onions. We recommend transplanting.
