planting into onion bed
« on: May 29, 2014, 15:42 »
Hi,
Just dug up winter onions.  I've got sprouting broccoli, romanescu cauliflower, calabrese and swede growing in adjacent plot and my question is which if any should I now transplant into  the spent onion bed.

Why do you need to move them?

Flippin eck, you've got your onions up early. Mine are not normally worth lifting till July.

I assume the adjacent plot is a seed bed otherwise I echo what sunshine says, why do you need to move them.

Transplanting swede can also be a tricky business. I've not sown mine yet.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

If I were to dig mine up now it would be to throw them away  :(
