In this material, we consider in detail all aspects of when to plant onions in the winter in 2015 in the suburbs. Onions, as many gardeners know, are usually planted not only in spring but also in autumn. A few decades ago, planting onions for the winter was not so common in our territories, but today the situation has changed dramatically. Especially with regard to the Moscow region.
However, due to the fact that many varieties of winter onions have appeared, it can be planted in winter not only in the Moscow Region and warm regions of the country, but even in Siberia or the Urals. If you transplant winter soil correctly and on time, it will winter well in the soil and will yield an early harvest next year. pay attention to tomato raspberry miracle: reviews with photos.
Important! The best time to plant onions under the winter in 2015 in the suburbs is the end of October and the beginning of November. That is, somewhere thirty calendar days before the onset of real frost. You need to focus on the thermometer, as soon as the temperature drops to -5 and lasts so long, you can engage in an active landing.
More details about landing dates
In addition to the frosts that have already been mentioned: from -5 for several days, gardeners can also focus on the weather. It is important to predict and plant winter varieties in such a period that they have time to take root in the soil, but do not have time to give the first shoots.
If the bow starts at least one arrow before the onset of frost, then during the winter it will surely die. This is fraught with early planting of onions, but late planting is fraught with the fact that the bulbs simply do not have time to take root. Many agree that for the Moscow Region the optimal time for planting onions for the winter is the end of November.
How to choose a place to land
To prevent a decline harvest in spring, the landing site must be chosen correctly. Excellent precursors of onions are any crops (with the exception of oats), corn and beets, mustard and rapeseed, legumes, as well as tomatoes and cucumbers, any kinds of cabbage.
Important! In order not to wind up in the nematode crop, you need to avoid planting after growing parsley or celery.
In the second crop, winter onions are grown after harvesting winter barley, rapeseed or beans, carrots and beets. But here it is important to have time to collect the first winter crop before the end of November, the deadline is the beginning of December. Otherwise, the onion simply does not take root in the frosty ground.
As for the seed, it is recommended to sort it before planting. Separate the small sesame from the large one, do not cut the neck of the bulbs. Sevok is recommended to be dried first in the room, and then already engaged in its landing in open ground for the winter.
Important! The soil for planting onions must be light. Loams, drained humus-sandy soils are ideal. But best of all, onions will grow on silt sediment. Before planting, it is imperative to dig the soil, apply humus and mineral fertilizers.
How to plant winter onions
The selected area must be leveled and compacted. Plant onions in grooves with a depth of 5 cm, which are made at a distance of 20 cm from each other. Dry sowing is laid out along the grooves for every 7 cm and is covered with dry soil, which is minimally compacted.
Watering winter onions is not required if it rains. When there was no rain or snow two weeks after planting, the soil can be slightly moistened (not necessary). In addition, it is recommended to sprinkle the onion landing sites with dry leaves.
What the lunar calendar is talking about
It is also useful to know when to plant onions. under the winter in 2015 in Moscow region according to the lunar calendar. Here you just need to focus on the phases of the moon and you can not even look into the astrological calendar of the current year. In no case should you be engaged in landing on the full moon or new moon, as well as in the growing moon (because all the plant juices move on this surface during this period).
Ideal for planting onions for the winter or other crops that need to be planted in the ground and take root there - this is a declining moon. Each month, you can calculate just such dates. In principle, with the growing moon, planting with special care can also be done, but not in the full moon and in the new moon.

Personally, when planting onions in the winter, I cover it with a film until the first snow. When it starts to snow, the film can be removed. This allows you to save onions and get a higher yield if there are dry frosts.

For many years I have been planting winter onions, only on the "waning moon." According to Sergey, I’m afraid to cover with a film, because the seedling may suffocate. But with a rare coniferous spruce branches I “cover” it. He can perform a peculiar function of snow retention.
