Sowing and/or growing instructions
Sow in rows in the vegetable or herb bed, or perhaps in a clump in a flower bed. All onions prefer dark conditions to germinate, so plant seeds at least an inch or so deep. You may wish to thin the young plants a little, but not really necessary, since larger plants tend to compete with and crowd out the runts.
