Default Onion sets

:


Early Japanese sets planted right time in large tubs about 3ins apart
around the edge of oval tub with a line down middle all approx. 3ins
away from each other. They did not grow much bigger than their set size
ending up more like spring onions why? Planted in good shop bought
compost.

'Ere in doors' or 'She who must be obeyed' bought some more for
another try but thought I'd check on what I am doing wrong.
Many thanks Charlie2





I might be wrong, but do they have to be in the soil and over wintered? So
next year will be ready to harvest is so.
