Here’s a question: How do you get more color in red onions?
We planted some red onion sets this spring but the ones that we’ve harvested are really pale compared to store-bought. We grew them in earth boxes with a mixture of new and recycled potting soil, no idea what the pH was, and used a couple of doses of Shake & Feed and some Ironite. We cut off any stalks that tried to bolt. They all made pretty good bulbs for once.
“How do you get more color in red onions?”
Are you talking about the package of onion ‘bulbs’ that are usually red, white and yellow, mixed? Or did you buy the long, slender onions that are a small bulb on one end and greens on the other?
You can’t really ADD more ‘red’ to onions, so if you want deeper red onion, you’ll need to buy a different variety. I’m pretty positive that soil PH and fertilizing won’t change their habits.
I need a little more info, Please. :)
How do the onions taste? If weaker flavor they might need suffer.
