[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 8130456, member: 48190"] You have probably left it a bit late, onions bulb in response to short days once they have enough leaves, and that daylength has passed, but to be fair I have not yet known anyone plant them in May, so you never know! They to whack in before April in future. Autumn ones are OK mature in July but don't store well, so unless you are selling potatoes in July and August might not be a good choice. Allow 40-45cm between rows if hand or tractor hoeing and 10cm between sets. Sets are relatively expensive so you might as well make each one count. People buy with their eyes favouring larger bulbs. Good luck. Next year swedes? [/QUOTE]
