Onion Valencia is a great sweet Spanish onion to try. It produces a 4-6" globe, but also makes excellent bunching onions when young. This is a very adaptable onion as it grows well in short to long day regimes. It is mild-flavored and a moderately good keeper.

Instructions
- Start indoors 8-10 weeks before transplanting outdoors. When transplanting, clip plants to 3" and plant 2" deep. Or, sow directly in the garden when the ground can be worked, placing 2-3 seeds per inch. Thin to 6" apart when plants are 6" tall. Harvest by pulling bulbs when the tops are brown and dry
Suggestions
- Fertile, moist soil enriched with compost is best for onion production. Onions ward off many insect pests around lettuce, cabbage and carrots. Use thinnings as green onions
