Just wondering if anyone had tried growing spring onions in the winter (in a greenhouse/ polytunnel) from varieties not specifically labeled as hardy?

I have three varieties - Laser, Eiffel and Red Beard - and I am loathed to buy any more.

I don't have much compost left, but I thought I might sling a few seeds in a pot in the greenhouse (frost free, not less than 4 degrees).

What do you think?

Worth trying Cutecumber. I've got White Lisbon winter hardy in cell trays in the cold greenhouse. Growing, but very slowly.

Thanks.

I think I'll just go for it. My luck has been better this year - some of the ones I sowed actually got to eating size!
