Too late for onions?
« on: May 01, 2010, 21:30:27 »
I have been playing catch up with my new plot and have just got to the point where I may have dug another bit by Tuesday, will it be too late to put onion sets in?

On the up side, it was our site plant sale today, the rain held off and best of all I snaffled a new shed for £50, flags to put it on thrown in...bargain!!

 ;)

I'm still sowing spring onions and some more picklings go into the modules next week..... mains    from sets?...hmm.... you should get a crop, but they might not be enormous..... that said I'm always amazed at maincrop onions... I do them from seed and the last of the little, not even sprig-onion sized plants went out a few days ago... thing is last year they went out at roughly the same time and some of them were cracking 2lbs after a useless summer.,...  You should get something anyway... it's really only the brassicas that have fixed cutoffs.....
