Plant onions from seeds, sets, or transplants in loose, well-drained soil with full sun. Space them 4–6 inches apart. Keep soil moist and weed-free. Onions take about 90–120 days to grow, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
Plant sweet potatoes using slips, not seeds. After frost risk passes, plant slips in loose, well-drained soil, 8–12 inches apart. Bury roots and lower stems, water well, and grow in full sun. Harvest after 90–120 days when leaves yellow.
I’m looking for advice on the most deer-resistant plants for my garden. I’d like suggestions for varieties that can thrive outdoors while minimizing damage from deer.
