Spring Planting Onions, Shallots & Garlic

Spring planting onions, shallots, and garlic are a fantastic way to grow your own flavour-packed ingredients for summer and autumn harvests. These easy-to-grow crops thrive in well-drained soil and sunny spots, producing reliable yields with minimal effort – with just a little care, you’ll be enjoying fresh onions, richly flavoured shallots, and aromatic garlic in no time.

Plant from early spring for your crops to establish strong roots before the warmer months. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and enjoy watching your crops develop. Harvesting at the right time gives you the best flavour, with onions and shallots ready when their leaves begin to yellow and garlic bulbs firming up beneath the soil.

When to Plant Spring Planting Onions, Shallots & Garlic

Spring-planted onions, shallots, and garlic should go into the ground from February to April. They need well-drained soil and plenty of sun to grow strong and healthy. If the soil is too wet, wait until it dries out a little or plant in containers instead. Starting early in the season gives your crops time to develop before the summer heat.

How to Grow Spring Planting Onions, Shallots & Garlic

Plant onions and shallots so that just the tip is visible above the soil, spacing them evenly to allow room for growth. Garlic cloves should be buried a little deeper, about twice their own depth. Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering, especially in heavy clay. Regular weeding helps prevent competition for nutrients. When the foliage begins to yellow and bend over, your onions and shallots are ready. Garlic is best harvested once the lower leaves have dried out, revealing firm, well-formed bulbs.
