    Hello,

    I have a variety of onion that requires planting now ready for harvest next year.

    Can these be planted under a cloche or shall I leave them uncovered in the raised bed?

    Hi,

    The Autumn varieties do not need any special protection, neither do the Spring ones.

    Thank you, I was only asking as was going to plant some winter radish and they need cloche, so might just create bottle type cloches.

    Hi,

    Not grown winter raddish, but from what I have seen they do not need cloche protection either, certainly not this time of year.


    Like most plants you can grow them 'indoors' be it a cloche, cold frame or greenhouse, but that can equally cause problems with watering and overheating etc.
    Just depends on how much you want to fuss them ..? :)
