Today we went to the polytunnel by the allotments and planted onion seeds in small pots. When they are big enough they will be transplanted to the community farm and the allotments. We planted seven different types of onions in fourteen pots. There are between 100 and 150 seeds per pot.
I see you're using the "Greengrocers' Apostrophe" Leontien. It's called this because so many greengrocers put apostrophes where they're not needed - e.g. apple's, banana's, onion's, tomato's, grape's.
ReplyDeleteThe thing to remember is that you don't need an apostrophe for a plural. We only use them either (1) to show that a letter is missing - e.g. don't instead of do not; it's instead of it is; we're instead of we are - or (2) to show that something belongs to something (or someone) - e.g. Leontien's onions (the onions belonging to Leontien); Bruce's allotment (the allotment belonging to Bruce).
Easy, huh?

How long do onion seeds take to germinate? I planted some this week that I saved from across the river

ReplyDeleteOnions take about 3 or 4 days if they are sown inside at about room temperature but if it is lower than room temperature then it will take longer
