The farthest are sturon (about100) then left to right bedford (40), up-to-date (30) and sweet spanish (3)

All in all not doing too badly given the cold spells we have had. Hopefully they will romp away when it warms up.
I just found 3 of my garlic bulbs from last years crop at the bottom of my onion basket. Is it to late to sow them, I’m thinking of sowing them in the poly tunnel like I have done for the last 2 years, except that I would normally have them sowed in November.

^^^ that's Veggie's answer to everything, and I totally agree with her Smile . The garlic's got two chances.
Why complicate things by having two answers when one will do for everything. Big Grin
I’ll plant them up on Saturday
There were 4 bulbs and the gave me 34 cloves of which 32 were useable so fingers crossed they will grow
Update on my indoor and outdoor onions, garlic is all indoor.
Outdoor onions are about 4 weeks behind the indoor ones but catching up. I need to weed the outdoor bed.
