Tips on Growing White Lisbon Scallions in the Georgia Garden:

1. Seed Sowing: Sow the White Lisbon Scallion seeds directly into well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Plant the seeds about ¼ inch deep in rows or clusters.
2. Sunlight: Scallions thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Scallions prefer regular, even watering.
4. Spacing: For White Lisbon Scallions, plant them about 1 inch apart in rows with approximately 12-18 inches between each row.
5. Thinning: Once the scallions reach about 4-6 inches in height, thin them to about 2-3 inches apart to allow for proper growth and bulb development.
6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer after thinning to support healthy growth.
7. Weeding: Keep the garden free from weeds, as they can compete for nutrients and hinder scallion growth.

Expected Height of White Lisbon Scallions at Harvest:

At the time of harvest, White Lisbon Scallions typically reach a height of around 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 centimeters). The exact height may vary slightly depending on factors such as the specific growing conditions, soil fertility, and the timing of harvest.

It’s important to note that some gardeners may prefer to harvest scallions at smaller sizes (around 8 inches or 20 centimeters) for a milder flavor and tender texture, while others may allow them to grow a bit taller for a stronger onion taste.

To get the best quality scallions, it’s recommended to harvest them when they have developed a well-formed white bulb at the base and their green tops are vibrant and upright. Harvesting at the right time ensures that you get the full flavor and culinary potential of White Lisbon Scallions for your favorite dishes.
