Nice pic New Shoot.
Got 40 each of Ciclope, and Centro, planted undercover. These were ones that I should probably have potted on a month ago, but didn't get round to. I just put the modules on top of a seed tray full of compost, and let them root into that before planting and they have done ok ish.
The ones that I did pot on a little bit look very strong now and I might plant them outside in about a fortnight.
I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

Prepares to feel inadaquate as Totty posts pictures of monster onions again   

I checked my diary and I planted out on 5th May last year, so I am a bit early.  I was getting backed up with seedlings, so the onions had to go out and take their chances

Remember they are giant onions New Shoot!
The normal onions from seed don't look anything different to yours!
Anyway, here's the 40 I stuck in the greenhouse, the ones I potted on which will go out next week.
And a couple of the bigguns

The bigguns

I was feeling OK until those last 2 pics      The giant ones are something else

Nice set-up Totty. Very nice. I'd hazard a guess that you like onions ;-) ?

First year growing solely from seed, and first year growing some big ones.
 No more sets!

Planted my Yellow Rynsburger onions and Zebrune shallots out in their final positions today.

My last lot went out at the end of last week. They were well hardened off and seem to have stood the couple of very cold nights OK.

. . .  and Zebrune shallots out in their final positions today.

Me too,  never grown bulbing onions before only a few Spring onions . . .  have some White Spanish onions to plan out later in the week, after a few days of hardening off,  they are looking very good, very happy with them

Curses - my Bedfordshire Champions babies were lovingly transplanted (I was flat on my stomach!) last week before I went away for a long weekend. They looked marvellous but dashing up to check them yesterday, not so much. I must have lured the slugs in with the pellets...

I have learnt my lesson!

[AnneB]

Curses!  Slugs have had a right old go at my newly planted Yellow Rynsburger onions this weekend.   They have eaten right through about 20% of them.   They didn't bother with the ones growing from sets, but they are further on and bigger.  The Zebrune shallots in a different bed seem OK.   I have resorted to the blue pellets.

[New shoot]

I popped over to the small piece of plot to say hello to mine yesterday (I was working on the bigger piece which is a little way down the site).

They are growing well and seem happy enough.  No damage and I've got no slug pellets down.  Mind you, I looked in one of the compost darleks to see how well it was rotting down and a big fat sleepy slow worm lifted his head to look back at me.  He certainly looked content so maybe he was full of slugs

Teeny tiny red barons planted out today -24 of them.  My Sentanero are looking ok, noticed had gone and I decapitated one by mistake trying to get some mares tail.

The onions and leeks that share a bed are motoring now, the lights work.
