You can always sow a few autumn japanese onions now for planting out late October. Or get some sets.
Premier direct now have them back in stock and kings seeds as well (bit more for a lot less seeds). I bought some from Kings for £1.70 as out of stock at Premier - just looked and they are £1.90 there for packet now.
Didn't like the look of the slug trail in the tray this morning. Could be a scout looking for what will be in the garden later in year.
Thanks for the tip Mark, quite honestly, I don't need more onions and I've never succeeded with the Japanese ones. So I'll stick with what I've got. I do have some old Japanese seed which I can try if the mood takes me.
