I'm growing spring onions for the first time for many years and the way they are performing at the moment if I earthed them up they would completely disappear!   

mine are a bit pathetic looking as well, they germinated when we had the warm spell in April and I think they have regretted it ever since 

mine 3!

Mine are about 6 inches long.

It's a man thing

Thanks for all the replies, I guess I don't need to earth up spring onions

What is the secret to growing a decent crop of spring onions? I've tried different varieties at different sowing times, but never had a good crop. I did find two impressive examples when I was digging their row over in March

I think you need to start them either in the autumn (winter hardy white Lisbon) for eating in early summer, or very early under cover for eating later, as i find they need quite a while to grow to an eatable size
