Onions so far

[zigs]

Bit late with sowing the Kelsae Onions this year, first sowing on boxing day didn't germinate, but got some more seed and gave it another go

These have got 2 months to get big enough for the show

 

[CanadianLori]

Wow. Do you eat them after the show?

 

[zigs]

Oh yes

Lovely tasting onion, a big slice fried up in butter is fantastic

 

[Beth_B]

Those look amazing, are they quite sweet then?

 

[IcyBC]

They look so healthy and fresh! I like how the bulbs are so full!

 

[zigs]

Ta

They are quite sweet.

Got a way to go yet if i'm gonna enter them this year

Are they old 5l mineral water bottles that you're using to grow them in?
What's your growing medium and feeding regime?
Go on, you can tell me, I live in Cheshire, and so not competition...

 

[zigs]

Yep they are, don't feed em as it might make em bolt, just planted into farm yard manure

I had kinda hoped for a little more detail.
Sown when, Boxing Day? Into trays? etc...

Sorry Bees, I was just waking up

I did sow boxing day but the seed didn't come up, so this lot is a few weeks late.

Just sown in pots and pricked out when big enough to handle, then potted on individually

Onions are one of my favorite veggies and they grow well where I live. There is nothing more tasty than the home grown variety. Yours look amazing and big Zigs!

 

[zigs]

Lets hope they get bigger before August

Mine were a bit dwarfed last year

Put one of the 3 outside and made a support for it

Planted another in the greenhouse soil

I'll see how they compare
