          Aye up Ziggers :)
          I just think that those in the containers are going to suffer sometime soon and won't reach their potential. Just my opinion :thumbsup:

          Not sure about that either. My gut feeling is that they'll do better outside. What do you think @JWK ?

          Yes, but those were planted out during the cold spell if I remember right?

            Now that the warm weather is here I reckon they should go in the ground Ziggy. They will need watering twice a day in those containers I should think.

              Aah, the old "slow Ziggy's onions down" ploy :th scifD36::snork:

                      Good idea :blue thumb: Btw, those others (in the ground) look pretty good to me. Not whoppers, but still pretty good :dbgrtmb: Oh, try and give all three some leaf support ;)

                        The others are "Snowball" normal sized onions planted in January :) They should be coming on soon, see some of them have dropped already.

                        Good idea about the leaf support :thumbsup:
