Numptee onion question
« on: October 10, 2007, 16:28 »
Just come back from my plot. I have onions in my greenhouse to dry them off, but some of them have sprouted again. Is this normal and can I replant them and will they grow? Should I dry them in the greenhouse?  :oops:  I appreciate your comments.

Use them first since they won't keep.  No point regrowing since they'd simply bolt.

You could try one or two for onion greens if you fancy.  See http://www.chat.allotment-garden.org/viewtopic.php?p=95644#95644
