Wonderful. Straight forward and so pleasant to listen to.

It depends on where you are, here in Ireland and The UK we recommend sowing in the first few months of the year, onion sets can be planted mid to late march or earlier if grown in a polytunnel or cloche

you dont have to waste the spare sets, just plant them really close together in pots of compost and use them as spring onions :3

Man you guys are great, I have a lovely allotment in Hertford just north of London. Last year I had a couple of issues here and there with my veg and I did not know what the problems were but now I know so much such as bolting, white butterfly, how to rake diagonally over the parsnip seed that should be planted in May and so on. Thank you so much for your videos they are fantastic. I will post them up on my allotment facebook group and other social networks. Keep up the great work. :)

good video, I learned something about the shoots on the onion sets. I have found that its most important to plant the right kind of onions for your zone, as in "long day" or "short day", and WHEN you plant sets vs bundles/starts whether they bold or not. Its a good idea to know or they will bolt every time.

I start my sets in fibre pots which I put in a cold frame when the leaves are about 5 inches tall plant out in a prepared bed

I'm growing mine from seed, hopefully they grow well :D

Sorry but where do you store the onions after harvesting them? In a cool dark room or warm and sunny room? Thanks

Curious if you grow onions in 5gallon buckets or uses a backyard garden how much buckets or area do you need to get a year supply? And when you get a year supply how do you preserve them passed 2 to 3 months ?
