Onion and Leek – update 😎 Hard to believe that these were planted only five days ago on 26 December and they are all showing through this morning 👍 This year we have planted Red Creole, Red Baron then some Walla Walla & Globo which are yellow onions and some spare Musselburgh leeks 😜 #Allotment, #Today, #GrowYourOwn, #Gardening

After five days the onions are popping up

@DavidPB May I ask which zone you are in? I used to start my leaks and onions indoors in February in zone 7b. But they never get very big during the season. So I'm thinking about starting them even earlier.

@levampyre We are also 7 (middle of England) Used to start them in January but wanted to follow tradition this year and see if that make a difference.

@DavidPB Interesting. So in England you traditionally start them in December? I mean, it's not like Tomatoes that need lots of space and light very quickly. Maybe it's worth a try here, too. Which light level and what temperature do you keep them in after germination?

@levampyre under a garland grow light in a room that’s between 19 & 21 degrees

@DavidPB Jepp, that would be similar to my set up, too. Thanks. I might give it a go.
