Kelsae Disaster

I plant them on Boxing Day, but indoors on a window cill

 

oK. I think I will do likewise this time. thanks.

 

I think the really serious growers going for record weights are sowing in October.

 

When I was show secretary for our allotment society,one chap who used to come always grew his Kelso from pip's.As far as I can remember I think he use to replant his best prize winners in large plant pots regrow on,when the seed head came he use to take of the tips down to the base of the head then left it to grow and the pips use to form on the seed head top,as soon as they where big enough to handle he would transplant into trays and place on a heated bench to grow on until ready to pot into single pots.

 

Wow. Luckily I only grew eight plants from my packet. Got plenty of seeds left.

Is anyone going to try and produce your own seed going forward?

 

Just managed to get some from here today - should be here next week. Hopefully these are the right ones

 

They are the right ones, if you have not grown them before you will find they are very tasty and sweet

No I havent grown them before, but I love onion, any & all onion..so thanks for that
I'm also looking forward to the challenge as they dont seem easy to grow

 

Theyve arrived. Simply Seed still have them in stock for anyone who cant find them elsewhere.

 

Totally intrigued. Ordered some seeds from a supplier in Quebec.

 

So if we sow now, what are we gonna do to get excited on Boxing Day?

 

Now there's a thought, wonder how big a Kelsae going to seed would be

Would we need to contact Air Traffic Control?

 

Holy moly, if you have to plant in October in your zone, I should have done so a couple months ago

Nah, I'm just going to follow the leader and plant on Boxing Day.
