Having black polyed months ago we are almost ready to begin...

Hullo both, welcome to urg.

My question is this!!
can you sow Spring onions in individual pots and then successfully
transplant later on?? Or must they be sown in situ and thinned out as
required??

If you mean 'Spring' onions as in the small salad onion range, they can
be grown either way. There would be no need for thinning though even the
smallest slips can be used as chives. We do ours in half seed trays,
leaving them in the trays until they finish.

Spring sown maincrop onions are better sown either in pots or trays,
then planted out in their growing positions later.
