Happy New Year to all, lets hope we have a more temperate growing climate rather than the high/low's of 2022. Todays sunshine opened the vents of my propagating greenhouse so will suit the Onions inside.

7 leaves on most of the Onions in 7 inch pots filled with Coir, think they will need moving on in a couple of weeks.

First real snow of the winter but not expecting it to last, not helping with the onion tunnel heating costs!

Inside the onions are being kept warm under a thick fleece inner tunnel cover + electric heating/lights.
