  • onions from seed in northern england

    Hi.
    I live in Manchester and I want to grow onions from seed, which I havent done before.
    I have a small heated propagator and a polytunnel.
    What date should I start germinating, and when should I move them on?

    Thanks

          Thats wierd, i planted the same variety in a heated propogator last week. Most of them have germinated. Are you growing/planting anything else at the minute?

              I don't either,put the pots into a poly bag,near a heat sauce,just as good for the odd few pots,
