I always plant out sets in February where I live that come from a feed store. I incorporate a lot of compost before planting and water every week if we receive less than an inch of rain. Make sure that you are planting the right types, as onions are sensitive to day length. I like 1015Y Texas Supersweet the best, this is a Vidalia type onion. I have tried different garlic but have the best luck with elephant garlic as this is actually a type of leek. I also plant my onions by themselves. Good luck to you AZ!
