When should I be thinking about sowing seeds and any tips for best results please Hi Hillier, It depends on the onion variety that you want to grow. But Ailsa Craig and Japanese Buffalo can be sown now. Sow 1/4 in (6mm) deep, in a prepared seed bed, in drills 12 in (30cm) apart. Thin as soon as possible to 3 in apart then in the spring thin to 6-9 in (15-25cm). Other onion varieties can be sown in the spring (March-April). HTH Cheers Nick http://www.ukgardening.co.uk |
