When To Harvest japanese Onions and Garlic?

[Bexy]

When should i Harvest the Above? And is there anything i can plant between when if they will be along time ?

[rustylady]

Overwintering (japanese) onions and garlic are usually ready to harvest around June. Leave the onions till the leaves go brown and fall over. Whether you can plant between them depends on how far apart they are.

Mine are about 3" apart but if yours are more, maybe put some leeks in between. Like others have said, depends how far apart you have planted them.

If they are in a block - I have cabbage seedlings prepared and when the onions come out to be eaten, I pop the cabbages in the space - there are around 12/16 onions per cabbage spacing if that helps. But you could do the same with any late crop; just have them ready for when they come out. Kohl Rabi would be a good one as they are around the same size-ish and grow very fast.

Great minds. Any brassicas including caabage, sprouts or caulis. I may even try growing some swedes this way.

Hoping my brassicas will be the right size to follow the overwintered onions (that I wasn't going to grow).
