Here's some I grew earlier.... I planted some White Lisbon spring onions last year, August I think it was, and I decided today they looked just right for eating... It's the first time i've grown spring onions and i'm well happy with them... 

[Y.E.A.H]

they look great

Thats the only way to pack them for the fridge is it not?, saves the leaves getting damaged 

[arugula]

I take those off when I get them home from the shops, if I've had to buy them.

Well done, I have never ever managed to grow them successfully!

I must have sowed more than 100 seeds, and I got this bunch and ther might be another 2 bunches if I'm lucky , I had really poor gemination for some reason, maybe it was old seed, I really cant remember... but i'm happy.. so much so I bought another pack at Aldi this afternoon

We love our own grown spring onions yummy yum they look good.

[Carollan]

You made me decide to stop all other activities planned for tomorrow,until I have planted some Lisbon seeds.
I have looked at the packet and felt decidedly useless,I have never grown them before,but I promise ,I`ll give it a go!

I've tried to grow these little blighters time and time again and have never got much more than minature spring onions.

I don't know if others mess about trying to grow spring onions in rows but I find the easiest way is to sow a sprinkle of seeds in a small pot of MPC then, when they get too big for the pot just tip them out and plant the clump anywhere you have a bit of space. As they grow they push each other apart and if you do this every couple of weeks you never have them all maturing at once.

Thats what I plan to do this time, thanks for the tip 

[JaK]

Thanks for the tip Solway. Will try that next time.

You're not alone, I can't grow them to save my life either. This is the last year Im going to try, bet I end up with blades of grass again.

I managed to grow about 8 last year, placed them between carrot thinnings on a salad and looked very pretty.
