Planting onions

I really enjoy getting outside in our garden space, tidying up the leaves and looking at the plants we have growing. Everything I have growing is in a container or a pot but at the moment things are looking very bare and empty. We have a shady courtyard and have tried a few times to grow veg and plants. We had a few successful ‘crops’ last year, we managed to grow rocket, salad leaves, a few tomatoes, some chillies and one courgette! This year I’m hoping for a few more successes and to grow some flowers in window boxes, root vegetables and a few more plants.


To start things off I prepared one of the planters and planted some onion bulbs. I’m really not too sure how they will turn out or even if they will grow but it is a start to getting a more populated set of planters!

Increasingly into gardening these wicker baskets are definitely getting me in the mood. Didn't realise it was time for onions already!

Hi Lucy - glad to see you are starting to "grow your own" again. Can't wait to sample some of your onions when we see you next. Have you planted any daffodils in the court yard yet? M ;0)
