"sam" wrote in message ... I pulled up the canes this morning and composted the vines.It has been a good season and the last feed was good.If the weather had been warmer there would have been more, but there's plenty in the freezer to last us a while. Besides I am trying Marshalls over-wintering onion sets for lifting in May when this year's crop will be running out,and I need the ground.It is the first time for me to try this, so I would be glad to hear of anyone's experience with them. Thanks. Sam The onion sets are fine, you should get a good crop especially if you plant them SOON so they get a good root system established before the cold weather sets in. They're always a bit of a gamble because a very cold or (like last year) wet winter can be the end of a lot of them, particularly if they aren't well rooted. Don't give them any fertiliser until mid March or April, as encouraging soft, tender growth isn't a good thing since it's susceptible to cold. Neil. |
