‘Augusta’ -OVERWINTERING or EARLY SOWING

A special large yellow cold-tolerant onion for overwinter growing: Sow late August for large bulbs the next year, or sow in spring to get baby bulb onions to use fresh. (Do half your packet each way.)

For full-size onions:Sow it around Aug 18th in a closely-spaced row. At the start of October they will be a decent size and you just transplant them out to their final position spaced about 15cm apart. As soon as the weather improves in spring they’ll be off and away, giving you early large yellow onions.For baby green bulbing onions:Sow in late spring about 3 months later you’ll get baby yellow onions , use the whole thing (bulb and greens) chopped in salads or cooking.
