  • spring onions over winter

    I am planning to grow spring oinions in containers in a cold greenhouse over winter. Will I be able to get a succession of crops or just one early next year.
    Any advise very welcome. thanks.

    they won't grow much between now and spring, but will take off March ish with the longer days. Ideally they should be sown now: Buy Spring Onion White Lisbon Seeds | Marshalls Seeds

      I have sown 6 troughs of Winter Hardly White Lisbon, the first 3 about 6 weeks ago and the second batch about 2 weeks ago. The first batch have shot through and are about 2 inch tall now, no sign of the second batch yet, but then I wouldnt expect them to be through yet.

      Im I right that I dont need to do anything to them other than just leave them outside to grow in all weathers and come the spring I will be rewarded with lovely onion. Only ever grown regular spring onions before, this is my first time at winter hardy type.

        I've got a load of pots of them in a cold greenhouse varying from half-inch high to 6 inches and different varieties. As Two Sheds says, they won't grow much from now on but should take off like rockets come next spring. I just can't get enough onions. We had some from an earlier sowing chopped up in our mash tonight

          I popped some in a bendy bucket in the green house (unheated) about 3 weeks since, no sign yet but I'm not in any rush for them, I'm just going to sit back and let them take there time.
