    As I've had to replant my onion bed, well most of it, most of them will be at the 2 WEEK stage not the 2 month stage, so don't laugh!

      It will be interesting to see if they catch up Vince, did you start another batch of seedlings then?

            No issues here apart from the usual mental health ones :)

            Mine are picking up in the warmer weather, don't think they'll catch up though.
