Overwintered Onions - The Westside Gardener

Overwintered Onions - The Westside Gardener: "If you can do it, getting some sort of cover over your overwintered onions will result in less winter damage, which will translate into stronger, earlier growth the following spring. I have had good results growing these onions in a couple of fairly dense rows under my PVC hoophouse. In February I dig them carefully, and transplant them out to their correct spacing (3-4 inches apart) in an uncovered garden bed. I side-dress them at this point with blood meal. Then in mid-April, and again in mid-May, I side-dress them again with a complete organic fertilizer."
