Siberian / Welsh Onions - Broadway - 23-10-2021
Hi Folks
I purchased a clump of siberian (also known as welsh?) onions earlier in the year and just left them to it for this year.
That said should I be dividing and replanting them?
TIA

I only split clumps of onions when they look congested or if I want to spread them around a larger area.

Mine are congested plus I want to move them around so will do. Would to plant the whole bulb underground?

I grow them from seed in pots and when planting I use the tried and tested Bung 'em in technique. Sorry, but I don't have any rules about planting depths. What did you do with the ones you bought? If that worked, do it again!

What did you do with the ones you bought? If that worked, do it again!No worries, they are a bit different from when I bought them. They were a tiny plant/bundle now they are a clump of bulbs.

I had clumps of them on a previous plot I had but dug them up and binned them as I thought they were tasteless affairs.
I might be on the wrong tack but from memory they were slimy and a poor substitute for either spring onions or chives.
