Glad I'm not the only one being a bit 'my precious' over them

Mine are still under lights, had to give them some support.
Surprised by some of you, "getting bored" with them. By having them kept indoors in the warm by a sunny windowsill, then "getting bored" and putting them straight outside in a cold greenhouse, the shock will cause most of them to bolt later in the year. Better off chucking them away and taking your chances with sets if looking after a few onion seedlings is too boring.

I usually grow a few onions from seed but find shallots more productive for the space they take up and wasn't going to bother this year, but I didn't want to be left out  so I've sown a couple of dozen Ailsa Craig (only 2 days ago so not bored yet, not that seeing seeds germinate ever gets boring as far as I'm concerned.  )

I'm very pleased with the germination my onion seed have made, just growing in the polytunnel.  Today I will thin them out and sow a few more for "just in case"

Lol what I mean is in the grand scheme of things a few bits of straggly looking grass is boring compared to my beautiful Aubergine seedling leaves, or all the lovely green leaves of coriander, pak choi, mizuna, lettuce and parsley in the greenhouse.  Even the leeks look nicer!  Will stick with them but they do not look impressed- maybe they know I they're not my favorites!

My straggly bits of grass have been catted!
Walked on, nibbled, p*ked up - scrap that idea this year - I'll get some sets!

None of them are as impressive as some big onions come harvest time though!

That is a bummer!
One of the garden cats has taken to sleeping on the big heat mat in the greenhouse, squatting half a tray full of my 'normal' onions.
Still have loads of the Ailsea spare though

Finally got round to pricking out my onion seedlings!

[DD.]

You and me both!

Sowed some Yellow Rynsburger onion seeds, two to a module, about 10 days ago. They have just germinated so have put tin foil around the module tray and put them on a sunny window ledge. Although my house is on the cool side, they managed to germinate without artificial heat.

  all my onions from seed seem to be wilting over maybe need more water?

[DD.]

What are their growing conditions?
