Default My Kelsae are up

Having sown Kelsae Onions in trays on the 28th Dec they are now coming up in a week or so I will pot them on when they get to the crook stage.

Surprised how quick they germinated too.
I will keep you posted as they get bigger.

Hi Fez

There is no crook (as in the shape of a shepherds crook) stage for lettuce or radish, just onions and leeks!

The radish are usually sown where they will grow i.e. not pricked out, but the lettuce can be pricked out into whatever you like really!

Well done, Ben, I chicken out and use sets. Grow leeks from seed though.
