Damaged Onion leaves

[hearts151]

I signed up to GYO couple months ago and got the free 90 plug plants that came with it about 3 weeks ago, including 10 onions.

Now I squished those 90 plants together pretty tight (I'm a total newbie to veg etc and didn't realise the spacing needed!) untill I could buy more pots/planters and compost to space them out better. Which I done a week ago.

Now the main reason we didn't have a veg patch yet was because we had two huge conifer trees in our garden (bought house last september) and several large tree stumps and roots.

Anyway we finally got the trees chopped down yesterday and the tree stumps ground down so will hopefully have a nice veg patch next year. however the people must of chopped the tree down with one of the branches landing on a few of my planters, completely snapping all but one of my onion leafs, one very badly, like down to 1cm above ground.

Will these surivive and grow back? and If so what can I do to help them? Feed more regularly?? The feed I've got is high Nitrogen (brand = MG) but obviously being brand new fresh compost I've not fed yet. (been feeding before when squished as I assumed nutrients would be getting depleted quickly).

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

How big/old are your onions?

Mine are nearly ready to harvest (nom nom)

Hytech variety. No idea, would say the soil/roots I planted were about an inch wide maybe two square when I recieved and planted them

So they were planted in late May?

And you're in Scotland. I doubt they're going to get any bigger than spring onions, so enjoy them like that. They haven't had enough time to bulk up, let alone getting bashed by falling trees.

Next year, get your sets in the ground in March. Onion Growing, how to grow onions with pictures and advice.
