Unpacked my Red Arrow onion sets I read that I will probably only plant out half after grading the sets. 13 are for the bin. 31 are sprouting already so will pot them up indoors. 56 are currently ok I may decide later some are too small. It’s too early to plant them out, does any body know how best to store them and to prevent them sprouting to soon.

I’d plant them all out and if it’s really cold cover with a cloche.. what have you got to loose?

Carole @carolecuttingitfine the plots no quite ready and neither am I too cold and wet we both might rot.

Maybe cover with black plastic to kill weeds and warm up the soil! As for you - stay warm indoors 😂
