as u may know, our garden is still a working progress, decking should be finished next week, then we're starting to make raised beds, shall i wait until they are done or do i start my onion sets offs in pots and transplant when ready? i don't want to leave them too long and it may be a couple more weeks until beds are finished.
start off in pots, or even just in compost in seed trays. The onions will just develop roots and possibly a bit of green up top, and can be transplanted easily in a few weeks ...
thanks curry, by the way, i'll post a pic of my chilli pepper plant soon. it's called thingy pepper (or peter pepper) and yes, it does! (well should do!)
Hi Gem/all,
We make a habit of starting our onions in single containers,and then planting out.
Last year i planted started sets by the side of directly planted sets,and found the started sets by far superior.
Hope that helped.
Regards,
Mark.
