      You don't need selfcontrol - just eat them when you want to and keep on sowing more

        It's the first time I've ever done spring onions, what's the tell tale sign that they're ready to harvest?

        I agree with tubspotsdustbins on this, I also grow mine to the thickness of a pencil, that way they are tender, tasty & sweet.

        If I have to thin them out, I use the small thin seedlings as chives! I grow mine both directly in the soil, and in two largish round tubs as well. they really dont take up that much space, & the results are well worth it. - good luck

          I've just bought 3 strips of spring onions for 20p each in Homebase, and 2 of leeks and one of onions. At that price, I couldn't walk away!

            when they look like the ones you buy in the shops (but without the barcode)

            Don't pull them up, slice them off at soil level. They'll regrow
