   • Sow seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep and space them 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

3. Germination:

   • Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
   • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period.

4. Transplanting:

   • Velvet Egyptian onions are usually grown from sets or bulblets rather than seeds. However, if starting from seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.
   • Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, ensuring to harden them off gradually before planting in the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to rotting.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• Harvesting: Harvest green onions when they reach the desired size by pulling them from the ground. For multiplying onions, allow the tops to fall over and dry before harvesting the bulbs. Onions can be stored in a cool, dry place for later use.
