Red onions, also known as Onion Creole, are flavorful and versatile vegetables that can be easily grown in your garden. Here's a guide on how to grow Red Onion (Onion Creole):

• Timing: In India, plant Red Onion (Onion Creole) sets or seeds during the cooler months of late autumn or early winter, around October or November, to allow them to establish before the onset of summer.

• Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Amend the soil with organic matter like compost to improve its fertility and texture.

• Planting: Plant onion sets or seeds about 1 inch deep and 4-6 inches apart in rows. Ensure the pointed end faces upward.

• Sunlight and Watering: Red onions require full sun to thrive, so select a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Water the onions regularly, aiming for about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry spells.

• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the onion plants to retain moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain a more consistent soil temperature.

• Fertilization: Provide a balanced fertilizer once or twice during the growing season to promote healthy growth and bulb development.

• Maintenance: Keep the onion bed free from weeds, as they can compete with the plants for nutrients and water. Thin out the seedlings if they appear crowded to allow proper bulb development.

• Harvesting: Harvest the red onions when the foliage turns yellow and starts to dry. Carefully lift the bulbs from the soil and let them cure in a dry and well-ventilated area for a few weeks before storing.

By following these guidelines, you can successfully grow Red Onion (Onion Creole) and enjoy their flavorful bulbs in your culinary creations.
