Hi. My onion seedling are around 6-7 inches high. They are well hardened off. Could I plant them out now bearing in mind I'm in the north east of England and will probably get a few more frosts? They are AIlsa Craig. Thanks

If they are hardened off It should be ok you can always chuck some fleece over to startdon't be afraid to innovate and try new things

If you are having the same cold snap as us it might be worth holding out another week or so as the cold at night will to a degree make them sulk and slow down whereas in a week or so when the nights warm up some it may prevent this.Comment

I am in CArdiff, and planted mine out 3 weeks ago, and they have been fine....Comment

I've been leaving mine out overnight for a couple of weeks now and they seem happy enough. In fact, I'd even say they look healthier than they did going back into the heated greenhouse overnight.Comment

Thanks guys I think I might pop them out the week end and cover with fleece if a frost is forecast. :-)Originally posted by SarzWix View PostComment

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
