Walla Walla is the famous large overwintering onion from the Pacific Northwest with sweet, mild flavour and crisp, juicy flesh. It can be planted in the spring or planted in mid-late summer to overwinter Growing Ideal pH: 5.5-6.5 (6.0-6.8 for scallions). Fertile and well-drained soil in full sun is essential. Add well-rotted compost and dig oe-1 cup balanced organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each 3m (10?) of row. Keep moisture high in the top 20-30cm (8-12?) of soil. Most of the bulb should form on the surface of the soil, so don?t transplant too deeply. Bulb size is dependent on the size of the tops: the bigger the tops, the bigger the bulb. Provide August-planted scallions with the frost protection of a cloche or heavy row cover as the first frost date approaches. Harvest Stop watering in the beginning of August to mature the bulbs in dry soil. After half the tops have fallen, push over the remainder, wait a week and lift the bulbs. Curing is essential for long storage: Spread bulbs out in a single layer in an airy spot out of direct sunlight. Once no more green is visible on any of the leaves, and they are dry and crisp, the onion is cured. If weather is poor, cure indoors. Storage: Keep onions in mesh sacks or hang in braids so they get good ventilation, and hang sacks where air is dry and very cool, but not freezing. Check them regularly and remove any sprouting or rotting onions. Well-cured storage onions should keep until late spring. 1st class mail is used so there is no tracking.
