Giant Onions 2015

Got mine on Sis's window cill

 

JJ ..A sunny warm widow cill will be fine.They only need heat for germination but then then need to be relatively cool for growing on (around 13 degrees) they do need plenty of light though

 

You can't beat a "sunny warm widow"

 

Not legally anyway.

 

Sown an entire packet of Bedfordshire Champions too, didn't mean to, my hand slipped

It's done now, innit.

 

I may give this a shot then. My kitchen window is south facing. Red onion sets are so expensive and I want to make me a load of red onion chutney this year.

 

Hi JJ
Just to clarify, are you intending to grow whoppers?

 

Don't mind Freddy. I would be happy with decent sized ones too

 

I've so had to bite my lip over the last 2 posts

 

Hiya JJ.

If you want whoppers, then you need to sow asap! Just be aware though, it's not without problems. Light and heat need to be addressed. I had to use quite expensive lighting (both to buy and run), and had to be prepared to add heat should the need arise - mine were in the greenhouse. Also, as far as I'm aware, red onions don't have the same potential to grow as big as their white counterparts.
That said, if you want to have a crack at it, give it a go, we're here to help
I grew some of these a couple of years ago, sown early March, and was very satisfied with the results.

 

Ooohh, you are awful
