Growing green onions is not difficult. But it can be tricky, especially if you are growing them for the first time. If you want to grow green onions but don’t know how to plant them or start them from seeds, then keep reading!

First off, remove all the green onion tops that are already visible in your garden because they grow too large and need more room. After this, dig a furrow in your garden where you want to plant your onions. This furrow should be about two inches deep and eight inches wide depending on where you live.

Plant green onion seeds in this trench vertically, covering them with a thin layer of soil. Make sure that the green onions “grow” end is facing up so they can receive enough nutrients from the sun.

After you have covered your green onion seeds with a thin layer of soil, water gently and regularly until they sprout. To help them sprout quicker, place a clear plastic bag over the furrow and secure it in place with a rock or other heavy object. This helps keep moisture in which is crucial for quick germination.

Now you just have to wait for your green onions to grow! After about four weeks, your green onions should be ready to harvest.
