Onion - Brown - Gladalan

Widely favoured vegetable since ancient times originally from central Asia. Contains vitamin C, iron, sulphur and fibre. Good winter crop in full sun in rich well drained soil. Harvest after tops dry off and fall over, hang in a cool dry place. Plant different varieties for continuous use. Few people grow enough onions. Don't over-fertilise or waterlog.

Early brown skinned, suited to warmer climates.
