Overview

A hardy crop grown globally, onions are a staple in vegetable gardening. They can be grown for their mature bulbs, or simply for their green tops. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium, iron, and organosulfur compounds, onions have been linked to cancer prevention and lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. 

Conditions

Onions are a hardy crop adapted to a wide range of growing conditions. Day length is important in variety selection of bulbing onions. Growers north of 38 degrees latitude should plant long day varieties as early as possible to achieve full size prior to maturity. Growers south of 38 degrees should plant short day or intermediate day varieties as these need less day length to reach full size. Green/bunching onions can be grown at any latitude. Onions grow best in fertile, well drained soils with a pH of 6–6.8. 

Planting

Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 10-14 days.

Plant indoors in starter pots or trays ~7-9 weeks before the desired transplant date. Transition outside (harden) for 7-14 days before outdoor transplant. Space 3-5" apart for full-sized bulbs, or 1-2" for bunching types. 

Care

Keep consistently watered and well weeded. Shallow roots require light, frequent irrigation when plants are young. 

Pests and Disease

Botrytis Leaf Blight, Gray Mold, Downy Mildew, and Purple Blotch are fungal diseases of onions that can be challenging to control. Practice 3–4 year crop rotations for all onion family crops (onions, shallots, leeks, garlic) and thoroughly compost or turn under all crop debris. Cover with floating row cover in areas with high onion maggot or thrips pressure. 

Harvest

Onions for use in the green stage are harvested as soon as they attain edible size. 

Onions growing to full bulb stage will have their green tops drop down when onions are ready to be harvested. Harvest when tops are between 80–100% broken down. Store in a cool, dry place.

Good to have if you've never seen the iTEP exam, but don't rely on it to boost your scores
Format: Paperback
This book is good in that it comes with two practice tests: one in the beginning of the book, one in the end of the book. The grading rubric is helpful too. However, the actual guide part of the book, doesn't help too much with how to improve test scores. What I like least about this guide is that it won't tell you which questions you answered incorrectly on the practice exams. A good test prep guide will tell you what you answered incorrectly, and will tell you what logic to follow to get to the correct answer. In the reading passages, it would be nice to know where I can find evidence to justify the "correct" answer. In the grammar section, it would be nice to know which rule I'm violating. Any test guide should always come with some testing strategies. I.E. If this question is taking up too much time, skip it and go to the next one. This guide lacks simple strategies like that. Simple strategies like that could be useful when incorporated into this guide because there are certain sections on the exam that you can go back to previous questions, but some sections where the "back" button is disabled. Overall, if you've never seen an iTEP exam before, this book is certainly helpful in that it will give you an idea of what you will be testing for. However, this book alone won't help you achieve a score of 6. The table of contents itself will tell you there are only 86 pages of actual content covering test material. That's not enough to cover how to excel in the exam.

Don't buy it
Format: Paperback
It does not prepare for the real test. Using it is absolutely not enough to be approved with good grades. Too expensive for what it offers.
