Onion, New York Early

New York Early is a reliable yellow storage onion that matures quickly (98 days) with good size and excellent keeping quality. The pungent flavor mellows with storage, making these perfect for winter cooking. Onion: Transform tiny transplants into generous, pungent bulbs right in your garden! These kitchen workhorses swell through photoperiod-dependent bulbing, so selecting the correct variety for your latitude is critical: long-day types for northern growers (bulbing at 14-16 hours), short-day types for the south (bulbing at 10-12 hours), and intermediate types in between. Choose storage varieties for months of keeping, or sweet varieties like Walla Walla to enjoy fresh. • Growing Tips: Transplant 4-6 weeks before last frost, spacing 4-6 inches apart; ensure latitude-appropriate variety selection (long-day for north, short-day for south). • Sun Requirements: Full sun (6 hours minimum). • Preferred Soil: Loose, well-drained, fertile soil; maintain consistent moisture until bulbing
