Great - but certainly no Shallots there!
Thanks for your replies.OK, I'm at a total loss now. My spring onions were planted from seed, White Lisbon. So, you can actually sow spring onions from sets? Do they have a better 'bulb' to them?I don't want huge onions to cook with, just something to go in my cheese sarnies :PSorry, daft questions I presume, novice here ::) Jo.

Are grown from transplants, you dig up a bunch take off what you want and put back what you dont want to grow on and multiply
The thing i like about them the most though is, of all the crops I grow they are the most reliable germinating from direct sown seed. Other seed is very hit and miss, but spring onions always seem to come up.PS: the variety was 'Guardsman' i think .
KT. If you care to venture North along the coast road i could solve growing Spring onions for you. By the carrier bag full.

Just LOVE your pictures, but I still see your Shallots as more like Spring Onions than your 'ripe' photo!!Whichever, I'm sure they are all enjoyed?
