Spring Onions

Hi all,
having lurked around here for a few months it's time to plunge in!!
We are Ged n Leigh and have recently taken over an allotment in sunny
Lincs!
Having black polyed months ago we are almost ready to begin...
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??
Many thanks in advance
Ged
Good news!
Onions, and most if not all of the onion family, leeks etc, are the most
transplantable crops. Mine have been pushed up frm below by moley, dug up by
cats, hoed up (accidentally) by me and bunged back in to no ill effect.
What you suggest is IMHO a good way of getting them off to a weed free(ish)
start, rather than them having to compete with weed seedlings from day one.
Enjoy.
