The Southport White Globe onion is considered a long day type. It is also known as ‘Silver Ball and ‘White Rocca’. It produces medium sized bulbs that average around 156 grams (5.5 ounces). It is a firm pungent onion that is one of the best keeping onions. It is a very popular onion for cooking with a crisp and mild flavor and is well adapted to Western Canada. Plant very early in the spring in a sunny location as soon as the ground may be cultivated and enriched with organic material. Press soil firmly over seeds. Allow plant tops to fall and die before harvesting. Smaller bulb sets can be stored to replant next year

Additional Information Open pollinated-untreated seeds. Pull onions at any stage for fresh eating. Harvest young onions to eat as scallions. For full-sized bulbs, don’t pull onions until bulbs are big and tops start to yellow and fall over. To harvest, pull onions and shake off soil. Cure onions by placing them in a warm, place with lots of air flow. During curing, roots shrivel and necks dry and tighten. After 7 to 10 days of air curing, cut off onion tops and trim off roots with snipers or scissors. Carefully rub dry dirt from bulbs, taking extra care not to remove papery outer skins from the bulb. Temperature: Onions will last the longest in a dark, cool (but not cold), dry storage area. Don't ever store onions in plastic bags. Potatoes and onions should not be stored together. |
