Grow Your Own / Re: Chitting sweetcorn, when to pot up?
« Last post by Nobbie on Yesterday at 20:15 »Err.... asking for a friend... but is the chitted bit of the sweetcorn that appears the root or shoot? So which way up would it go in a toilet roll tube?
The root is first to sprout followed a day or two later by the shoot. Root is pointy with hairs coming off it, shoot is blunt and smooth.

Grow Your Own / Re: Onions from seed?
« Last post by cc on Yesterday at 16:30 »I always grow from seed. It doesn't seem financially logical to grow from sets but so far dire. Hardly any seeds have come up. Growing in trays in greenhouse/conservatory.
Might be the seeds are passed it though. I do have some doing very well which I planted in the autumn. I must admit they are rarely large but on the other hand it's dirt cheap to grow from seed. Specially as I buy from premier seeds! Twice the amount for half the price!
