Onions - any point in planting them?
« on: June 25, 2008, 12:32 »
I'm new at this veg growing business (but loving it!) and a friend came by the other day and left a box of onions "for your allotment". They're already planted in 4" pots and look fairly healthy, but surely it's way too late to put them in - or is it worth a try?

Thanks for your help,

Goldfinch

Oh, yes, no need for them to be giants to be good to eat. :wink:

you can always eat the leaves if the bulbs come to nothing, just call them late spring onions  :D
All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
