Spring onions or Scallions?




As mentioned on the grapevine, to get great spring onions I sow a pinch of seed in modules and keep frost free till the roots fill the cell. The clumps are then planted about 4" apart with individual onions being pulled as they reach a useable size.
Another sowing in April and again in July will see you right through the year.

Lovely allium babies!

Americans call them scallions I think. That is a great way to do them, I might give them a go like that.

Great idea! I'm definitely going to try it that way this year.

They look great! I tried some in the winter but they kept flopping over!!! How did you manage to get them upright? x

I was inspired and am giving this a go too. I'm hoping I'll be able to fill spaces at the ends of rows with them this way. Thanks for the tip!
