Onions 
Onion seed should be planted in fertile, 
well prepared soil very early in the 
spring. Frost will then help with the 
weeding. 
Plant in 2 foot rows; when the plants 
reach the green onion size, thin them out 
to remain two to four inches apart for the 
production of large or dry onions. Sum- 
mer seedings may be made to produce 
fall green onions.
