Morning Jase, onions should love that rich ground. I’m holding off a bit longer as we are due some very low temps here for the next week, 😅😅 well it is spring today so of course it’s going to get colder 🥶. Happy gardening 👩🌾, Ali 🥶🌞🇨🇦
Hello Jase* I do my onions the same way, my 🧅 beds are a little smaller* so Rows of 4 / 3,,,Best to have too many than not enough* Our neighbours ask what im growing yearly* & like most of us we grow to much so the neighbour's have Brown paper gift bags* Last year i had more Salad than Asda 😂 A tip for the onion greens* I dont waste them, I chop them / dry them / store them in jars* Perfect to add to soups & winter stews*,,,,,Michelle
Hi Michelle. Yes we pass our surplus on to family and the neighbours. We do add some of the greens to dishes. But I like to dry them and platt them the old way. We find they last months like that. We have just finished eating last years onions.
Hi Jase where I live in UK (Durham) I've sowed onions end of March early April, and had great crops, once the weather warms up they grow quick and I plant out mid May, never grew red onions as I have heard they bolt a lot . supposed to be getting colder again 😠,thanks for sharing Steve Colwell

We're going through minus temps for a couple of nights now Jason, so I think I'll hold off planting out for a couple more days..
Hi Stephen. Very wise. I’m fully expecting it to drop below again once I’ve put stuff out 😂

Yea front maybe at the weekend. But onions are tough (grow through the winter) so I’ll pop some fleece over them if needed.
the best thing I use for spacing is some rigid square mesh perfect spacing with that
I’ve used weld mesh for sowing seeds before. Near enough does me though 😂
spoke to soon Jace, frost at the weekend lol, I've just been messing about making oil candles for the GH
They should be fine under some fleece. That is why I’ve held a tray back though. 😂
What exactly are the slug pots you've had out for a month?
Hi. They are beer traps. Heres the video I did on slugs which includes beer traps.
