onions in containers ?

hi all

just done a search but did'nt come up with anything so..............

has anyone grown onions in containers or pots ?

i want to try this next year i have a 60 litre pot but have no idea which onion to try i did'nt really want to do the shallots ones but the kind that are a little bigger than a shallot.

any ideas ?

thanks

 

Was you thinking of growing from sets or seed?
Seed gives you more choice, but sets would be easier.
I think you can still get the so called Japanese onions, you plant them in sept and they overwinter and crop june/ july the following year.

 

thanks pete

i don't mind which although i did hear than sets were easier so might look into them ,
to be honest i wanted to start growing next yr i have given up with this yr with this horrific weather. :rolleyes:

 

my onions have not done so well this year. I have decided to put them in raised beds next year.

beetroot has also been a disaster.the ones in the raised bed are doing fine.

 

hi fancy

im sorry to hear that alot of people have had probs this year with the terrible weather touch wood evrything i have done this yr apart from my peas and radish ( rotted ) have been ok

glad that not all your hard work has gone up the spout though
