Planting Vidalia Onion Transplants for Sweet Bulbs

Plant Vidalia onion transplants now in a sunny bed, spacing 12 inches apart. Feed regularly with a high-phosphorus fertilizer (e.g., 10-30-20) to encourage bulb development. True Vidalia sweetness comes from low-sulfur soils—Georgia's clay soils naturally contain more sulfur than the sandy soils of the Vidalia region, so your onions may be slightly more pungent. Still, homegrown Vidalias are delicious. Water consistently and keep weeds down for the best bulbs.
