    Onion sets.

    Last weeknd was near tropical after the last wave of freezing weather! So set about clearing a nicesized patch for my onion sets! in our back garden, permission from er indoors of course
    The plan was Sunday morning up with the early Robin and Blackbirds, dig over and top up with multi purpose compost and start planting, yes the patch was clear, just needed a good turnover and top up with soil-and new compo.
    Well as the saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and men: What a frost we had overnight So will the sets be ok left in an unheated greenhouse, i
    cleared out the manky ones put the best back in the packets and covered them up, how long can you leave them like that?? Help please.

    You can start them off in pots/modules in the g/h if you're short on time or the weather's rubbish

          I won't be planting my sets til April. It's tempting when you get a warm weekend, but I find they do better in the long-run if I wait til the soil has had a chance to warm through a bit.

            I have loads and loads of homemade compost this year so I am going to try to grow a few onion sets in large pots in the greenhouse early next month and put them out when the weather gets warmer.

              The sets are Centurion F1. + Kelsae seeds, of which are starting to sprout, got those in our outhouse with heat on. No heating in greenhouse!
              So will have to wait for a thaw, to get any pots filled as topsoil and compost frozen solid!! Hey ho, i know it's just my impatience to get growing must get a grip
