How much does it affect? Your onions may need to be watered a few times per day, but make sure to give them a good drink in the morning. They come in various colors ranging from white to yellow to red with a flavor range from mildly sweet to strongly pungent. that if it bolts, it’s done growing? Nothing like onions fresh from the garden. When onion crop is grown for bulbs some premature seed stalks are produced before completing the normal life cycle of the onion bulbs known as ‘bolting’.

Once an onion plant has begun to bolt (produce flowers which will then I’m guessing it’s a variety that’s prone to bolting, since I’ve heard that some varieties are more prone than others.Sandra, friend and reader in Maryland, wrote to me and said that 99% of her onions (I think from Dixondale) are bolting!

(This is when most gardeners harvest, unless they want seed.) Plants that have produced flowering stems in this way are said to have bolted. Just a bit smaller is perfect.I decided to take steps towards breaking my dependency on Dixondale for transplants.Keep in mind as you are reading this, onions are cold hardy and take a lot. The onion won't develop any further, and the inner ring will soon become inedible. It can affect a wide range of vegetables including Bolting is triggered either by cold spells or by the changes in day length through the seasons. I am considering digging under the rows of onions planted from bulb. Out of 2500 onions, about 250 won’t cure or store. After proper curing (see my post And just for your information (and anyone else reading), I grew Candy for years. I will keep trying. You should have found it sweet, tender and delicious! Plants will usually get leggy because all of their energy is being utilized to produce the flower and the seed rather than the onion, creating a stunted product that must be eaten immediately and cannot be stored for future use.

Bolting is when the onion stops putting energy into a bulb and instead grows a the stalk and flowerhead. To keep onions from bolting in the first place, protect them over an extended cold, wet spell by covering them. Most varieties need to be planted 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date, so keep a close eye on the calendar and have your seeds or transplants ready to go. But it was all considered normal weather for our area.Premature bolting is caused by temperature fluctuations and stress to the plant. All Rights Reserved. When it warms again they start growing. My Copras seem to be done early – they are already laying down, have picked a few up off the ground and they are mild and delicious. Shallots which show resistance to This is especially true for onions planted from sets (already in their 2nd year when planted in your garden) or purchased transplants. in some degree to bolting.

There are no treatments or chemicals any other onions which have not bolted. When an onion experiences extreme cold, or extreme heat, it is put under stress that causes it to go into the natural process of reproduction before it expires. I’ve had only 4 plants bolt out of about 100.

I didn’t know you had to pick them once they bolted so thank you for that. Keeping onions cool is a little more difficult than keeping them warm, as mid-season heat waves usually last longer than those unexpected cold snaps in spring. Bolting is an undesirable character because it directly affects the bulb yield of onion. Extra cold winter, unusually warm spring days followed by unusually cold spring days, etc… I usually get my onion transplants from Dixondale, and have had lots of success, but this year I noticed a lot of bolting, which I hadn’t seen in previous years. When the temperatures rose, the plants started to grow again. And when I buy from Dixondale, I make sure that the varieties I’ve chosen are not owned by Monsanto.

Have you ever sown seeds in the Fall, or has it always been via the wintersown method?

A Certain Percentage of Premature Bolting is Normal For more than 20 years I’ve ordered transplants (a small onion plant grown from seed) from Dixondale. My average percentage of onions that bolted prematurely was about 10%, possible 20% in some years. We have had a garden for about 6 years now.
