I put mine in the greenhouse up the lotty the other day and the next day we had a really hard frost 

Checked on them today they are still alive but look a lot paler than before, going to put them into modules tomorrow and see how they go.

Started growing onions from seed a few years ago, been converted ever since. I grow for the kitchen mainly, but at the back of my mind is a thought to try some for show one year. Seed quality I have found is always a bit hit and miss and have tried most of the popular varieties, Kelsae, Ailsa Craig, Red Baron, Bedford Champion, Sturon etc. with hit and miss success. The white onion 'Takmark' F1 has been excellent never bolted and very uniform, the red onion 'Kamal' F1 is the coloured choice, my other half harvested the last of them last week, wet but firm now stored in the conservatory. The 'Long Red Onion of Florence' is the other consistent performer, tried five seeds to a module last year planted out as a group, did okay not as big as the singles. Have found to be more confident with seed and relaxed about early planting, having said that I feel the twitch - they are going in tomorrow.

I moduled them up this pm.  Oh my that was a fiddly job, even in the sun inside the greenhouse, they are back indoors in the spare room now  .  On the other hand the leeks are up

Mine are now coming through. 

I sowed mine in modules rather than trays. Saves transferring them later. I'm lazy.

Sowed my onions last weekend (18th):
60 Red Barron
60 Dorato di Parma and
80 Bedfordshire Champion.

All in modules (20 per half seed tray) and on the windowsill with cling film propagators.

(Phew) just finished pricking out  104 bedfordshire champs from modules to a deep tray just got another 312 red baron,golden bear  tomorrow they are all at crook stage

[marcofez]

Some success! 
Bedfordshire Champion up and running
Ramata, Long red Florence and Ailsa Craig patchy at the mo.
Still, I expected that, as they have grown without any heat apart from any coming into the polytunnel from the sun.

Pricked mine out into modules today

Do yours have more than 1 leaf when you transfer to modules? Mine seem stuck with first leaf - seem to be standing still at the moment and there's been no real change for a good 7 days. At least they haven't died thought

Mine all have one leaf and im transplanting now.

[Steveharford]

Me too. Mine never grow beyond one leaf in seed compost.
