The onions have begun sprouting in profusion! After seeding up a few thousand seeds in several trays filled with soiless mix, they're now growing under fluorescent lights in the house. It's still too cold at night to put them in the unheated greenhouse. As soon as the nighttime temperatures come up just a few degrees, they'll be shuttled out to continue growing until it's time to plant them in their permanent garden beds. We're growing four different varieties of onions this year - some mild white onions, a variety of long-storage red onions and two other varieties of yellow onions. Along with these, we have trays of leeks and scallions growing as well.
