I learn a thing or two in the mean time.
Onions from seed should not be exposed to long days and should be planted out as soon as possible in march/april.
They need room temperature to germinate but then they need to go in place where soil stays cold, otherwise roots do not grow well and above ground growth is rushing.
Charles, thank you for you answer.
I have another one if you don’t mind… is it ok if i put down almost finsihed compost now and then plant these onions? I read they don’t like N from organic matter, manure etc.
Just checking, but i think this is only problem if material is dug into the soil?
