Re-Seed Carrots & Plant Out Onion Seedlings?
« on: May 21, 2012, 12:35 »
Some time last month, just before we had those days of rain ad low temperatures I had sown on my plot carrot and parsnip seed, sad to see that there has been little sprouting, apart from weeds. I am wondering if the conditions have been too harsh and if so would it be better to re-seed, than wait any longer?

Also, have a tray of onion seedling now about an 1/8 thick and 3 inches tall, are they too immature to plant out?

Appreciate any advice and or experience on this, Thanks

My parsnips are just starting to appear after 4 weeks - don't know how long yours have been in because my not-that-good-memory seems to think that April was wet from start to finish!  :unsure:

If yours have been in a similar time and don't appear in the next few days of warmer weather I suggest you re-sow parallel to the existing rows if possible - you could always hoe them off if both sowings germinate.

Your onion seedlings sound relatively thick for their height - mine were at least twice that height at the same thickness, and are already out in the garden.

Yours might be better planted out too, although it would be a fiddly job - I'm relatively new to onions from seed so I'm not 100% sure whether that's the best advice, but time is marching on now for onions.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
