Giant onions 2016

one could use a fruit core remover, I guess

 

Eeeeek....
no, I have teased roots apart when I accidently get two seeds in one soil block

 

Ne t'en fait pas

It'll be ok

nice one John

My Chives are looking better than mine

 

Can I put mine in an unheated greenhouse once the night time lows get up to 40f or would they die?

I need to pot mine up too but have no more space in the heated greenhouse. .

many thanks for advice.

they'll need hardening off first I would think

 

These are the ones that have survived a couple of heater malfunctions. Getting down near freezing and then up to the 70f mark when the sun shines. Does that rate as hardening off or do they need fiercer conditions. Totally confused

 

Thank you. Toward the end of next week when we are expecting spring like conditions, I will start putting them in the unheated greenhouse for short visits and extend the time each day..

many thanks
Lori

 

The ones I planted out before Christmas are not getting away, ones in the greenhouse have picked up though

 

My 20 kelsaes arrived from DB today. All in one clump of soil. Do they appreciate much root disturbance?

Again, sorry cant post piccies of how they arrived. Will try on laptop on Sunday.

 

I think you'll find they've been grown in individual cells, 'clumped' together for ease of shipping, and will easily separate into individual blocks of roots. Gently tease them apart a bit at their base when potting up.

Give them lots of TLC, a light feed, and as much light as possible without excess heat ( so they don't grow tall and 'sappy') and you just might give the early starters a run for their money.
