My onions and leeks were started off in a heated greenhouse until they had germinated. I then moved them to a cold frame and they are all doing fine. They are in half size ice cream tubs with plenty of root space. I sowed  them quite thin and I am wondering if they need transplanting into single cells, or will they be ok until planting out? The little plants are are about 1in. apart.
There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

I sow my leeks like that in cat litter trays, (1" apart), they remain like that until planting out time.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I have put the seedlings into the grow house now. Very little heat in there just frost proof, and they look really good now, aprox 4 inch i reckon. Still look dry on the tips though. Fingers crossed
