Netting of Shallots and Onions
« on: April 08, 2010, 20:25 »
Hello

As the advice was to net shallots and onions when planting sets to protect from birds picking them out and cats using my lovely dug bed as a toilet I did so-  however they are all shooting through lovely is it safe to uncover or do they stay covered throughout


Thanks
Missy

Should be fine to remove the net as they'll be well rooted. I usually just snip dead bit on top and bury them so the birds don't see them.

Er, sorry if I've got the wrong end of the stick but I hope your little job for tomorrow is just uncovering them rather than "snipping" anything!  :blush:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!
