All the Onions
The onion is one of the oldest domestic vegetables known to man, with hundreds of cultivated varieties. They all vary in appearance, flavor, pungency and how long they keep.
This short book will guide you through selecting the right type of onion for your garden and which type of planting will work best for you – from seeds, transplants or sets. Tips for growing better, tastier onions are also included.
The different members of the allium family are introduced, including the most popular garlic and onions.
The guide finishes with a section on common pests and diseases along with how to control them.
