- Soil requirements: Onions and leeks prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good moisture retention.
- Sunlight needs: Both onions and leeks require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
- Planting season: The best time to plant onion and leek seeds is in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Depth and spacing: Plant onion seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Leek seeds should be planted 1/4 inch deep and 6 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart for onions and 6-8 inches apart for leeks.
- Germination time: Onion seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days, while leek seeds take about 10-14 days to germinate.
- Maturity time: Onions take about 100-120 days to reach maturity, while leeks take about 120-150 days.
- Harvesting time: Harvest onions when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, usually in late summer. Leeks can be harvested when they reach a usable size, typically when the stalks are about 1 inch in diameter.
- Harvesting tips: For onions, gently lift the bulbs out of the soil with a garden fork and allow them to cure in a dry, well-ventilated area for a few weeks before storing. For leeks, use a garden fork to loosen the soil around the base and carefully lift them out. Trim the roots and tops before storing. Both onions and leeks can be stored in a cool, dry place.
