ONION and BUNCHING ONION 

Allium cepa

Onions are easy to grow and take little space; they do best on fertile soils and are suitable for temperate and subtropical areas. They prefer an open, sunny site, with free drainage and a pH above 6.5. The flowers of onions are attractive to bees and other useful insects. Onions are mostly grown as a winter crop. In southern Australia onions are sown (depending on variety) from mid-May to August; in Queensland onions are usually sown from March to June. Seed is hard to germinate in hot weather. Sow seed 1 to 2 cm deep, cover with soil and firm down. Space rows 25 - 30 cm apart. Seed takes 7 - 10 days to germinate. Thin to 8 - 10 cm apart in the rows to produce a good-sized bulb. It takes 12 weeks for seeds sown in trays to be ready to transplant. To transplant, trim the tops and avoid planting them too deeply, less than 1 cm deep. Onions are ready to harvest when the tops shrivel just above the bulb and bend over. You can lift them early while the tops are still green but they will not keep well. Mature onions can be stored in open mesh bags in a cool, dark, well-ventilated position.

PEAS

Not to TAS

Pisum sativum  

Sow peas spring in cold areas, late summer to autumn in warm areas. Peas do best between 13°-18°C, a frost will damage the flowers. To reduce fungal problems, try to avoid planting before periods of high humidity and avoid getting water on the leaves. Grow in full sun in a sheltered position. Direct sow 3-5 cm deep, space 7.5 cm apart. Lightly mulch seed rows to prevent crusting. Water well once after sowing and then do not water again until seedlings appear. Peas dislike acidity, so lime if necessary. Prepare soil with compost before sowing; practice crop rotation to avoid disease build-up.
Please note: All pea seed that is not organically certified is supplied as untreated seed.
