2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Must admit that I don't loli - don't really have the space to do so to be honest. Temperature in the room rarely drops below 17 overnight, which I hope will be enough to counteract the slightly colder temps that will be next to the window.

 

I can but try

To be honest, I am less bothered by the onions than I am about some of the other stuff I plan on doing - my tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, leeks, spring onions, lettuce, carrots, beetroot etc are more of an interest to me (probably wrongly) simply because I am unsure that there will be that much of a taste difference between my own onions and shop bought which are also abundant (I usually buy a 5kg sack at a time);

 

I think Jenny has a point. Not all of us have a thermostatically controlled propagator nor a set of grow lamps nor a greenhouse. I'm not suggesting we do anything about this situation, we can't have a handicap system, far too complicated. Anyway it wouldn't surprise me if 'normally' grown onions out-performed mine grown under grow-lamps. Plants have a great habit of catching up and responding better to a bit of green-fingered tlc

 

Just remember, Freddy, you only get three wishes.
