Sowing onion seeds

[Hazel at the Hill]

c'mon PW - you know that I know nothing!

they will work fine Hazel but its a waste of good onion seed. I would save them for next season and but some scallion seeds.

....I would save them for next season and but some scallion seeds.

Now, you know that seed packets burn a hole in my pocket, PW, and I find it very difficult not to so them NOW, THIS INSTANT - and you tell me to keep them till next year!!

By the way wots scallion seeds.....? (just re-reading this to see if it's a really dopey question......nope, don't think so.)

Scallions tends to mean 'spring onions' Hazel....and no shame in asking girlie!

Ah, had forgotten about planting onion seed. Have some Bedfordshire Champion to try. Donated by my mum who picked up a huge wodge of seeds at a car boot last summer. Was thinking about making space for the propagator yesterday so that's another job reminded of. What else to plant in heat now?????

I've got some of these (Bedfordshire champions - local y'see).

Am I too late to get sowing? If not, what should I do with them? Would they be ok to put out in one of those plastic greenhouse thingy's or is it too early?
