Do they need feeding? Nitrogen I think?
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

If you want to be happy for a short time - get drunk.

If you want to be happy for a long time - fall in love.

If you want to be happy forever - take up gardening!

Thanks, They aren't really pot bound but I haven't fed them yet. I will start feeding and see if that helps. Might move them up a pot size too.

I wouldn't say mine were even as big as blades of grass, actually. I'm very tempted to give up on these onion seeds and stick some sets in.
