Onions are planted in open ground in April–July. Optimal temperature for growth: Grows immediately after the snow melts. Sowing depth: 1.5–2 cm. Distance between plants: Lines; slight thickening makes the pen softer.
Spring onions require regular watering, especially during the period of active growth and expansion of green mass. Water with warm water at the root, avoiding getting on the leaves. Lighting conditions: full sun. In hot weather, watering is increased; in cool weather, watering is reduced. Mulching helps retain moisture in the soil.

Onion is an unpretentious crop suitable for beginning gardeners. It does not require complex care and tolerates minor mistakes in agricultural technology.
The main problems when growing onions: fungal diseases (powdery mildew, late blight), aphids, spider mites. For prevention, observe crop rotation (do not plant onions in one place for 2 years in a row), provide good ventilation, and water at the root. At the first signs of illness, use biological products (Fitosporin, Trichodermin).
Spring onions can be dried, frozen, or used to make seasonings. To dry, cut the shoots, tie them into bunches and hang them in a dark, ventilated place. To freeze, chop the greens and place in bags or ice cube trays. Dried and frozen greens retain their flavor for up to 12 months.
