Has anyone grown shallots from seed , have planted in pots inside and have already got about 6cm green shoots but they seem to have been stuck at this stage for a bit now.Do I keep them quite dry and repot later in the month when they are bigger?

I grew a variety called ambition. Nice big single bulbs from seed. No subdivision into many bulbs.

It has been winter They'll take off now the days are lengthening

I'm sure some of you more seasoned gardeners will have a little smile at me for this, but I have two green shoots poking out

[Two_Sheds]

I ... have been eagerly watching for signs of life ... So far no signs of happy onions

I have two green shoots poking out

It's great isn't it? I still get excited by new plants

I go and look at my newly planted veg every morning too , know it's a bit sad but my I have a new raised bed outside my kitchen window,new topsoil dug in yesterday and I can't wait to fill it! Think non veg-growing people roll their eyes,but they are more than happy when you give them the odd shaped cucumber or handful of beans!!

It certainly is brilliant, I have 6 happy onions braving the bright world this morning!
