Allotments 4 All

Thank you all! I'll just do it now before I forget! :)

Last year I had weedy little things 2" high that just sat, and sat... until finally I forgot where I'd put them, and hoed them out by accident.

Another bod toddles off to find some plant cells and compost.

Thanks, Tim.

At plot yesterday noticed that the spring onions sowed in autumn have been "washed away" over winter. Just as well I've got more in modules now. :)

You aren't alone grawrc.....old Jack on our site rotovated his in as he forgot they were there! See, wear your glasses even when you are doing bigger jobs!  :-\

Have just joined the modules club.

;D ;D ;D ;D

My Ishikura onion was sown in a pot indoor in February and germinated soon. They looked like doing nothing for ages but I have noticed they now have 2 blades of leaves!

In my case EJ it was the weather what dun it. LOL ;D

Thanks to all - I thought for a moment Tim meant those little Jiffy 7 plugs - had visions of trying to pour seed into the tiny hole at the top!

me too - doh!

Ok, I have read this thread, but unfortunately that was after I had singly sowed a tray of 24 cells.  When this try is empty, I will re-sow using Tim's method.

All of these have come through and are about two inches.  I have never grown spring onions before, so the questions is - do I plant them out at the same depth? and any other tips would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Just come from allotment, sowed 6 rows pf white lisbon spring onions 2 weeks ago and they are up in full row now.  Remember that if you sow seeds in September in the ground that you must sow them twice as thick as normal to allow for loses over the winter.
