    Hi!

    Im a novice with my fisrt veg patch so sorry for daft questions!!

    Ive started my onions from seed, they are about 5inches high and starting to look spindly and falling over. Someone mentioned that i should trim them back? Is this true? If so by how much? Thought i would ask before i butcher the poor things...

    Cheers

    No, just move them to cooler conditions with more light.

    Why are some of my onions apparently growing through their bottoms?
