These were sown on Feb 14th, into Jiffy 7s, planted out at the lottie on Mar 15th. Again, no idea of which type they are as they are a trial from a packet of Thompson and Morgan onion seeds for sprouting....they are now about 4 inches tall. Picture taken yesterday.
They were sown and grown in an orange bucket, outdoors. Red beard is the variety, I think, certainly they are very purple as I harvest them now!
Just sown my next batch - well my next-but-one batch as I have some growing away in another orange bucket that I sowed there a few weeks ago - this time direct into the soil at the lottie.
I sowed some early last year and then we moved so they ended up staying in the seed tray for months. I eventually planted them out into a storage box but they didn't appear to be doing much, so I left them over the winter. Hubby pulled them up and ate them today. They were pathetic! A few of them were even as thin as grass. He said they didn't taste very oniony either.
The problem with rounded personalities is they don't tesselate.
yfs1, I've grown them much closer than that but it is not recommended.
I grew loads of them early in the season in a trough on the floor of my greenhouse with shading from the sun.
I thinned them as they grew so they ended up at a much better spacing and I probably gave them weak liquid feed ('cos I do that even when it is not advised ) but I did eat all the thinnings no matter how small!
The proof of the growing is in the eating.

Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash. Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!! Il n'est si méchant pot qui ne trouve son couvercle.
