Entita is a lovely slim variety that doesn't bulb up into an onion or readily bolt. It has very upright dark green leaves and a pale shank, smart and tasty. Spring sowings take about 10 weeks, while summer sowings, into July', are faster at around 7-8 weeks. ow later than this for an autumn crop.
Sow: in spring, summer and early autumn no more than 1cm deep. Use cloches until around mid-April to protect the earlier sowings.
Grow: just let them grow! Growth is quicker through the warmer summer months and slows again as the weather cools. Being resistant to bulbing and bolting, Entita can be pulled as you need it without quickly ‘going over’.
Enjoy: cut the stems lengthways for dipping or slice across to toss into a salad. Stir-fry or bake when you want a milder flavour than a mature onion would give you. You can also snip the green leaves into salads or use them for flavouring.
