The very best feed to give onion seedlings thro to half grown is (Nitro chalk) its perfect for them and all the champs use it over here in the uk,
The whole idea to get nice large onions- is to get as many leaves on them as possible, the more leaves the bigger the bulb.
I personaly like the big spanish onion type -mild and sweet.
cant stand these hot little spring bunching onions that burn your tongue off at the first bite.
Over here in the Uk most large onion seeds are sown just after christmas -when the day length just start to lengthen gradualy again, but later on around Aug/sept time we also sow another type of Japanese onion which are fairly large and tasty, which come into full growth around june the next season and just bridge the gap before the maincrop comes in.
