Planted Too Many Onions in Container

Question

In the spring, I received a variety of onion transplants from a friend. I never grew onions before and didn’t have ground garden space, so I put them in a container (about 5 gal). It’s now clear that I planted WAY too many together and much too close. Can I pull up some of them now to allow the others to grow larger? Overall, they look very healthy with tall green stalks, but I’m concerned they won’t mature.

Answer 1

Yes, you can thin the plants out as needed, choosing the smallest and leaving the others. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/onion/growing-onions-in-container-gardens.htm
