Last year, I sowed and planted onion plants to get onion buds (pyaz kali & matured onion). But that was a bad deal. I mean to say if you want to get onion buds then you have to wait 3-4 months and after that you will get a few buds and after that, you have to wait another a few weeks to harvest onions. That means it will take a whole season. But this year, I will grow onion plants only for its leaves or spring onion. It takes only 4 weeks and the plant will be ready to harvest plenty of its leaves. Being a spring onion curry ( hare pyaz sabji) lover, what else want from that plant. It takes 4 weeks and onion buds take 4 months. Which one is the better deal? What do you say? If I use 3 or 4 pots then I will get plenty of spring onions throughout the season. Is it not true? [Read more…] about Growing enough spring onions for hare pyaz sabji
