Bloody weather! Enough said!
Given the set up I have, the onions I'm growing in root trainers are coming on fine as can be seen in the photo above. Varieties are Kelsae, a Kelsae-type strain from a local grower and Mammoth Red.
Last week it dawned on me that I had forgotten to order any red onion seed this year, other than the Mammoth Red. My local rip off garden centre didn't have any seed so, as I've never grown red onions from sets, I thought I'd give them a try and bought a small bag of Red Baron. I've now got 45 planted in 15 cell modules in the greenhouse.
Other than sowing a small tray of both red and white Cipollini onions, that was it for today. Hopefully, I'll have a bit more to report later in the week..........weather permitting!

This is such a great idea. I would never have thought of starting them off in cells!
