Are spring onions just ordinary onions picked early or a different type ?
Either way,how do I go about planting some , andwhen please ?


Two meanings here.

'Spring' onions are normally mean small salad onions grown at any time
of the year from 'White Lisbon' or similar seed. Their green tops are
very tasty and useable at the earlier stages of development, and their
bulbs are very good though small keepers. We always keep a tray or two
of those on the go.

Do you mean that you make successive sowings throughout the year? And what
does 'tray or two' mean?
