10. Harvesting:
– Green onions can be harvested when they reach your desired size, typically when they are 6-8 inches tall. You can cut the leaves as needed, leaving the bulb to continue growing.
– For larger bulb onions, wait until the tops have yellowed and fallen over. Lift the bulbs carefully from the soil, let them dry in a well-ventilated area for a few weeks, and then store them in a cool, dry place.
11. Overwintering (Optional):
– In some climates, you may be able to overwinter onion pots by bringing them indoors or providing protection from freezing temperatures. This allows you to have fresh onions year-round.
Growing onions in pots can be a rewarding experience, especially if you have limited garden space. With proper care and attention to their needs, you can enjoy homegrown onions in your culinary creations.
