Hi Pies. What variety are they. I usually find that onions do well started in modules, and you can keep a better eye on them that way.

[Pies]

They are Senshyu Yellow

I would deffo recommend starting in modules. I sowed a packet outdoors last year and got about six plants. (I only use Senshyu sets now!)

[Pies]

It's just an experiment,to see if the losses from seed are less than those that bolt from set.

when do u think is best to plant them out ?

Follow this link - advice already given on the Vine. I was sure it was here somewhere http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...les_36669.html

thank you

The advice on the seed packet is always a good starting point...........or so they say!

PS More onions for your money with sets, but also more chance of running to seed. Only had two of my Senshyu onions grown from sets bolt on me this year thank goodness!
