Default Onion germination
In article . com, says...
Hi
well February is here and I'm excitedly planting seeds in heated
propagator(s).
I have onion sets well established on the allotment, but have also
planted some seeds (ailsa craig) in the propagator.
The shoots seem long and weedy to my (inexperienced) eye - and frankly
- I'm wondering what to do next - none of my books, magazines seem to
advise on this situation - if it is one!
I have opened up the vents on the propagator - do I just let them go
for now? plant out in March? My learning curve is mightily steep )
Little Weed

Are they getting enough light? is the propagator heated? I have found
onions to do best in the cool but with a lot of light. I generally plant out
mid March.
