Reply To: Onions from seed

[Pete Budd]

This year I germinated my onions in a propagator at 17 deg C, in New Horizon on 02.02.15 and they were through a week later. On 10.02.15 I put them in a well ventilated unheated greenhouse, where they are making slow growth. So far so good but I`m still learning the mystic art of growing onions from seed. Last year I had them in a cold frame through a bitterly cold March and they all survived only to later fail quite miserably due to drought. One year I did very well sowing them direct in the ground in April but it was quite tricky keeping them weed free, in the early stages.
