Onion ‘Jet set’ is an excellent spring planting allium. It matures faster than other varieties, is resistant to bolting and produces fabulous uniform, yellow skinned rounded bulbs. It will spread to 15cm and grow in height to 45cm and is perfect for companion planting. ‘Jet set’ offers delicious taste and speediness if you are after a quick harvest! Plant onion sets in rows in any firm, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground, try growing onion sets in raised beds. When growing onions from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of bulb is just protruding through the soil surface. Leave a space of 10cm (4″) between each bulb, and 30cm (12″) between each row.
