Onion sets

Am I too late to plant?

As was in dobbies this morning and they had Sen shyu yellow onion sets 1.49 reduced to 23p also Unwisn box of mixed Sprign box o f80 bulbs £9.99 paid £4.50.

 

Seems rather early rather than too late to plant. I can't grow onions anymore due to white rot, but when I did I usually planted the sets during the school Easter holidays.

 

Dave they are starting to shoot maybe that is why Dobbies were selling them for 23p.

Even if I am too early ,I have my raised veggie bed do I plant there or in pots in greenhouse.

 

Scotkat, they are Japanese onions, and need to be planted ASAP. Also the spring bulbs, they will flower later than usual, but, again, they need to go in.:thumb:

 

Thanks David new about Spring bulbs and can get them in to extra containers ingreenhouse.

It was onion sets can I plant strain into my veggie raised bed.

 

As long as the soil isn`t frozen or waterlogged, go for it. Don`t expect big onions though, as they are going in so late, but you will get usable bulbs.:thumb:

 

David soil been covered in fleece and frozen so shall pot them in pots in greenhouse as inthere compost not waterlogged.

 

:gnthb:

 

Give it a try anyway Birthday boy.

 

you have nothing to loose Scotkat, go for it.. call it an experiment

 

You should get away with this, but as mentioned you are about a month late !
