Onion set query

[Caro]

well, I have my second earlies chitting on the window ledge and my mains in the bottom drawer of my fridge, as advised!

But how do I store my onion sets until I want them? (Errr, and that would be Feb onwards, perhaps March on the west coast of scotland?)

Thanks

I do believe somewhere light and dry.

Spread mine out in some seed trays on a shelf where they are dry and get light but not direct sunlight. Don't leave them in plastic bags.

don't leave them in my garage: they'll go mouldy

I store mine in the garage and they're fine although suppose it depends on the garage!

[Caro]

Two Sheds, I'll be sure not to store them in your garage.

Alison, I'll post them down to you

Thanks everyone, I'll find somewhere cool and dry.

if they start to sprout put them into pots?

...or get eaten by meeces

You could always plant them into modules until you're ready to plant them out.

In the past I've always left it until April to plant em out but this year mine will be going into a seedtray of compost in the greenhouse for an early start as a trial.
