Hi teabag I would always buy them as sets nice and easy, you can grow them from seed but I never have.
Yes put them in now and they should be fine

I've tried growing onions from seed and would not try again, it's sets for me all the way as it is the easy option.

I really think you are a bit late for starting seeds now.

[Teabag]

thanks for the advice,do places like focus sell them ?

[Ice]

Got mine from the local garden centre.

Wyevale usually have them, you have one in Bristol. May be worth phoning as it's getting towards the end of the planting season.

Try ebay if you get stuck P&P may be heavy tho

Like Ice, I tried them from seed (because I had a blonde moment and ordered seed instead of sets  :roll:  :oops: ), they all germinated OK - 54 seedlings from 60 seeds   - but then they just flopped over and did nothing. Scrapped them all and put sets in yesterday from the local garden centre.

We just picked up a kilo of red sets for £3.00 from a local garden center so it might be worth checking the smaller places.
