[Plot 1 Problems]

Finally got the sowing season underway, one tray with Bedfordshire Champion and one with Red Baron.
Also pictured, Germidour garlic started in pots as the garden beds are not yet ready for them.

Having waited a month for my new propagator to arrive... the first seedling of the year is long red Florence

Thanks for the advice everyone, my onions are now up and on the windowsill with tin foil behind them.
(Assembling reflectors from foil and cereal boxes reminds me of making crowns from the same materials aged 5 or 6, I do treat my seedlings like they're royalty!)

Globo and Ailsa Craig looking healthy. Will move them outside into the greenhouse after next weeks cold snap.

Onions are up! Germination doesn't look great, but there should be enough to get a decent cop I reckon.

Yours have done much better than my Isobel Rose, I made a 2nd sowing with what was left in the envelope and only got another half  a dozen. I'm really not impressed 

[Mr Dog]

My onions are now on the go: Golden Bear, Santero and Redspark sown in modules as clumps of 4, Zebrune, Exhibition, 'Giant' and Mammoth Red sown as 'singles'.

[Ema]

So 24 modules, 4 seeds per module = 96 seeds

And only 2 have germinated

My onions are sown (thickly) and laying all over the place. They were germinated in the propagation with lights then place by a window inside. My problem is ...do I pot them on? I didn’t last year but then I sowed sparingly because I planted sets too and they were fine. I also want to put in a cold frame for more light but worry this might be too cold. Any thoughts?

[Benny130]

Any updates? I have just thinned mine i sowed in pots to one plant per pot. Also sowed my zebrune

Disaster for me! The bad winds we had the other week moved my cheapo temporary greenhouse and the onions were sent to the floor. I tried to prick them out and save them but they all died...
Onion sets it is then!

[New shoot]

I have 2 lots in the greenhouse - Globo and Red Herald.  I’ll try and grab a piccy later.  I have been putting extra layers of protection and fleece over them for the cold nights.

Isobel Rose are inside germinating and I have sown a dozen or so pots of spring onions in the greenhouse.  It was an idea I read on here to start them in 4” pots, then plant out.  There is a tiny pinch of seed in each. 

I have just remembered I have some Ishikura bunching onions on the go out there as well. I am going to use them as bunching onions later in the year, but sowed a few in modules to try and get Japanese style naga-negi, which are large leek sized onions.   Not sure if it going to work, but you grow them just like leeks.  There was a ton of seed in the pack, so it is worth a go 

[mumofstig]

My Hylanders are in  the g/house looking weedy, still, but alive, and the Pink Panther sets are showing green already. Indoors I have about 8 weedy Isobel Rose out of the whole packet 
I've not sown any bunching onions yet, they're on the to do list - but the weather has put me off, a bit

[MrsPea]

These were sown end of January and doing very well  Ailsa Craig

[New shoot]

Globo and Red Herald in the greenhouse. The Globo are going to be my monster onions (fingers crossed) so have been treated to their own pots.
