FYI spring Onions

I remember chatting to some one on here might of been mumof stig about spring onions and said I was gonna do a little experiment with brand new pack of white lisbon spring onions, year old one white Lisbon and winter hardy white lisbon.  Because I reckoned the winter hardy grew easier.

Well I sowed some of each 2 weeks ago indoors and more of the winter hardy ones have come up and look stronger.  At the mo they are in a hot conservatory soon to be moved.

I grew some Winter Hardy ones last September and they are great now.  I am convinced that that is what I shall be sowing from now on.

You can sow outdoors march to september and harvest is march to october as on pkt.  August to september sowings ready following spring.

Wonder if thats cos I use muti puposecompost.  I grow most in the big blue mushroomboxes Tesco chuckout as rubbish.  Their stock ones that they fill the shelf up from that is not the little ones for consumers (only say that as someone once thought I meant a little button mushroom box.  Let us know how the welsh ones do.

I've never had much luck with spring onions. This year I have a couple of (short!) rows up and straightened out from their hooky shape but they seem to have stopped growing despite rain and sun.

Oh 

I like 'holland blood red'  eat every other 1 as spring onions and  the ones that are left bulb up for cooking
