2013 Onion Growing Challenge

Here's me thinking they are in the GH plenty of light there......not giving a thought to the couple of inches of snow covering the roofthanks for the memory jog all snow cleared off now

 

Need a pic Loli, they may have reached the crook stage without you realising?

Snow reflects light and helps insulate greenhouses, so unless over 50% coverage, I'd say snow would be beneficial.

 

My big brother has got me a TC propagator so i'm going to sow some more seed tomorrow i'll post a pic of the ones i've made a hash of too

 

All maybe not lost with the ones you've got loli, I'll await the piccies

 

They were stood to attention yesterday........

 

More light loli

 

So all is not lost then....
They are in the GH....I've been keeping the snow off the roof today,although it's cozy in there it was quite dark......

 

Hiya loli.

I don't know if you're able to, but maybe move to where you consider the lightest place is? I see you now have a temperature controlled propagator? It might be a good idea to lower the temperature a bit.

Cheers...Freddy

 

Thanks Freddy will do think i'll put them in the conservatory

 

Loli, just to add, they do look a bit spindly, so it might be a good idea to sow some more, as a back-up

 

Yes i meant to ask that

 

loli, I am by no means an expert, but I've been growing from seed for a few years now, and my opinion is that they might well be ok, but are borderline. Hopefully Vince (or someone) can add his input

 

Bit late I know, BUT, they ARE at the crook stage Loli, that's the "bendy over" bit........

Far to cold to transplant now, but they'll happily hold their ground until you can pot them on when the weather warms up

 

Thanks Vince
