I'm going to be growing onions over winter again, haven't chose a variety yet, off to the garden centre tomorrow. Once I'd planted the sets and they had sent up little shoots I then mulched around them. It kept the weeds at bay (mostly) and I had a great crop!

@simplifygardening 6 лет назад

Yeah it always helps to mulch them, wraps them up a little too. U see my beans :(

Tony you are the one you tuber who has really well prepared beds and your beds look efficient, productive and tidy. I would like to see more of your outdoor crops, a bit late this season though.

@simplifygardening 6 лет назад

Hi Wendy. As I am not growing through winter this year as crops are coming out Im not sowing winter stuff, as I want to do some ground work, laying pipes and so forth. But I will see what I can sort for next year. I have purposely not done plot tours this year even though they are popular

@Lovelygreens 6 лет назад

I'm doing winter onions for the first time, it's my second year with an allotment and the first I've grown anything over winter. I enjoy your videos and try to take as much from them as I can, so thank you,!! After the winter onions have been harvested, what would you grow next? Could you plant more onions or would you need to crop rotate?

@simplifygardening 5 лет назад

No crop rotate so put in some chard or salad crops sonething like that

@simplifygardening 6 лет назад

Make sure you buy heat treated sets Athy, if it doesnt say heat treated then dont buy sets get seed as if not heat treated they will go to seed as the set is in its second growing phase and that phase is to put out seed

@HomeGrownVeg 6 лет назад

Hello Tony & Eva. Another good video as usual Tony. Don't you think that heat treated onions sets are an admission by the producers that there are problems growing onions from sets? If that's the case, why are they still selling untreated sets? There's no point buying cheaper sets if most of them are going to bolt. That's why I'm going for seed again this year, I usually get better results. HGV

I always use Radar and Senshu (is that how it's spelled?) at this time of year. And, I generally get a pack of each, plus one of garlic, for a fiver from The Range, and not been disappointed. You said you don't expect big onions from the autumn planting, but my summer onions are usually the ones that disappoint, the winter ones grow well, big and tasty. Must be our poor spring and summer weather locally.

I had temps down to -15 with no issues, Give them a try. Snow isnt an issue as it acts as an insulator. You may be surprised in the spring when the shoots start moving again

good day to you Tony !! as you know i grow in raised garden bed and i have been growing onion from sets for about 3 year in january, the grow but not as big as other people. i grow with compost because my soil is so clay like you could throw a pot with it !! so is there anything i can add to the clay to brake it up the soil

Clay soil needs loads of organic matter and its not something that has a quick fix, its a long haul to break it up but ensure you dig in tons of organics to bring the worms in to move it all about for you
