I must be doing something wrong! I checked today and I have 5 germinating, sowed them on Monday  Will see if others follow.

[DD.]

The Strigonovsky have just appeared - 5 days.

[Aidy]

With 120 sowed I have 118 little onion baby's 

[LILLILEAF]

I have 2 different types marko and bedfordshire champion,i have bought 1 try inside all have germinated but that still took a month,the other tray nothing has happening at all its now 6 wks,i will be bringing that inside before this very cold weather arrives,or they may have rotted already

I personally believe onion seeds are more fussy than parsnips, and can take as long as some chillies before you find out they're not going to do anything.

I bought the tray of bedfordshire champion onion seeds inside they germinated over night,just a bit more heat from the house and they are up and running ,its taken many weeks i thought they had rotted,im pleased they are ok.

That trick has worked for a couple of folk now.  Glad they are OK

Mine have three leaves now. I feed the once a week and they have plenty of space in their deep tray so hopefully they will carry on growing 

(Globo)

[New shoot]

My Globo moved to the mini plastic greenhouse inside the main greenhouse yesterday.  That way I can tuck them up overnight if we get another cold snap.

They are all in modules and the most now have 3 leaves

My 3rd sowing of Bedfordshire Champions (a newly bought packet) has been successful and assuming most survive I will have enough brown onions. Now waiting patiently for the Red Barons to emerge. The giant onions are coming along well and are now some 15" or so tall.

[jambop]

I have Golden Bear, Zebrune and long red Florence well on and growing nicely. I have just sown some Red amposta to replace Stuttgarter which were a totally waste of time with a pathetic germination rate and have also some small Italian pickling onions on the go.

27 March

Attached are 3 photos of onions sown in early Jan (Ailsa Craig) and early Feb (the rest). all looking a bit spindly despite being in light conservatory. I think they will come through as I remember other years where I looked forlornly at the limp seedlings and wondered if they would survive let alone come through to produce a good crop! I plan on getting them down to the unheated greenhouse over the next couple of weeks once this week-ends weather front has passed through. The Globo seem the strongest contenders

[mumofstig]

None of mine are standing up on their own yet 

They'll either grow or they won't, I'm not going worry either way, as I have a lot to do after the move to the new plot

[New shoot]

Mine have graduated out of the mini plastic greenhouse inside the main greenhouse and are out on the bench now. 

Given the fairly awful weather they have had chucked at them so far, they are looking OK 

[Tracybutton]

Here are mine taken today . They are supposed to be Mammoth

I’m going to give them some Baby Bio in a minute. That should finish them off !!
