We've two in pots that we grew from cuttings taken in Greece about 5 or 6 years ago. Despite over wintering under cover, after the hard and...
I earth up first when about 6-8" tall. I then just keep an eye on them and earth up if I see potatoes near the surface. Prior to my first earthing...
I've never encountered this before, my onions have all formed offsets. Most have formed 3 and a couple 4. They are Sturon planted from sets and...
