How long after planting does it take to sprout? Also, can we just harvest a few bulbs at a time as needed to get an established onion patch, rather than harvesting all the onions & replanting every year? We live an hour north of Orlando, FL, so winter is short & mild. Thanks for the excellent article.

how deep do you plant the bulbs? I got them in the garden this fall, and wondering if I planted them correctly…

Hi Josh, potato onions will not cross with garlic, shallots, or any other root vegetable so it is safe to plant them together in the same area.
