This bundle is perfect for those utilizing raised beds, containers, or small vegetable patches, offering reliable harvests thanks to varieties specifically selected for UK climate conditions. While the compact nature of these plants makes them highly space-efficient, growers must ensure they have well-draining soil to prevent moisture-related issues during the colder months.

These varieties are selected for UK conditions; typically, autumn or early spring planting is ideal, depending on your local frost dates.
Yes, both red onions and pink garlic are compact and thrive in containers as long as the pot has adequate drainage holes.
Adding a well-rotted organic compost before planting is usually sufficient to provide the nutrients needed for a successful harvest.
Garlic is ready to harvest when the lower third of the leaves has turned brown and dried out.
If properly cured in a dry, airy place after harvest, these onions are suitable for long-term storage in a cool pantry.
They are selected for disease resistance, though you should still maintain good garden hygiene to prevent common soil-borne issues.
Improve soil drainage by adding grit or compost and avoid overwatering, especially during rainy periods.
Check for weed competition and ensure the plants are receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.
Use horticultural fleece or netting to protect young shoots from birds and pests during the early stages of growth.
To ensure success, plant the onion sets with the tip just showing above the soil line, and plant the garlic cloves with the pointed end facing upward at a depth of about 5cm. Ensure the soil is free from large stones and has been amended with organic compost for best nutrient uptake. During the growing season, ensure consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging, as standing water is the primary cause of bulb decay. Keep the area free of competing weeds to ensure your bulbs receive maximum sunlight and airflow. Harvest the onions once the foliage begins to yellow and flop over, and harvest garlic when the lower leaves turn brown.
