Thanks Plant them now, but give them some protection such as straw, horticultural fleece or a clear plastic sheet for a few weeks. Firm the soil down well before planting and leave just the tips of the bulbs showing above soil level. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

I've just bought 75 red onion sets & 15 shallots from Poundstretchers for 99p each. Worth a try, considering the silly prices in the supermarkets! Have started these off in the greenhouse, as the ground is so wet. |
