Onions from seed.

[Potstubsdustbins]

Saw TK today, sorry VC he is not about to show you his onions.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but these last few days it's as if you can watch the onions grow. I have decided to take another pic in a weeks time to compare.

He must be very embarrassed about their size then. Tell him I've seen lots of small onions in my time

I know what you mean Potty...
I can see a difference in mine each time I look at them...
My seed sown ones especially are bombing along in the last week or so...

[chilli_grower]

when should I start scraping the soil away a bit, so that the onion is effectively 'sitting' on the soil?

[Tripmeup]

Not for a while yet CG..you should be able to see the tops of them at the moment I presume?
Later on when fully formed and greenery is dying off, you can loosen them from the soil...

You might be best start a new thread as this one is specifically for growing onions started from seed and progress of same

I am indeed referring to my onions grown from seed.

I will start a new thread in 6 weeks or so.

When did you start yours CG?

[chilli_grower]

I started mine from seed at the end of February, as mentioned they are all the smaller ones on the right hand side of the bed....

looking fine matey. I still have to take and post my pics. Height of my busy season but it is on my to do list

still on my to do list. I'll get a few mins shortly hopefully. My better half's onions are doing better than mine. How does that happen?

[Potstubsdustbins]

Just over a week and the difference is quite noticeable.

May get a decent onion yet.

and even growing a companion plant

Haven't forgotten to take a few pics, just been incredibly busy. Should have been evicted from my plots today at 2.00pm but elected members of the Council had this postponed(hopefully cancelled) and are to debate my situation in Council on Wednesday with a view to me being able to keep my plots and to sort out the expenses situation as well so I have everything crossed

I only mentioned it out of mischief . I know I'm a bu@@er . On a serious note and it doesn't matter in your case matey as that is hardly big enough to call a weed , onions don't like competition for nutrients so they are best kept weed free.
