**Planting Instructions:**
* **Soil Preparation:** Choose a well-drained, fertile soil for planting. Ruby Red Long Day Onions thrive in soil that is rich in organic matter. Work compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to enhance its fertility.
* **Planting Time:** You can sow the seeds directly into the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. These onions are considered long-day onions, suitable for regions with extended daylight hours.
* **Sowing:** Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 3-4 inches apart in rows. For multiple rows, space the rows 12-18 inches apart.
* **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Adequate moisture is essential for the development of plump, flavorful onions.
* **Thinning:** Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to leave about 3-4 inches of space between each plant. This allows room for the bulbs to grow.
