Onions
This year I want to start some yellow (ordinary) onions from seed, and only the red onions and echalotes from sets. So as soon as my seed arrives I will be starting the first crop of the season, how exciting!
As I don't have a greenhouse, I will be starting them in trays in the pantry where it is cool (there is a windowsill). Then once I have pricked out the seedlings, in February I guess, I think I will cloche them and keep them outside protected in the window boxes. Then I can bring them in if there is a bad frost.
Any other ideas on onions would be most welcome...
