|
Im having trouble growing my spring onions past the size of shoelaces! I have them in a pot of compost in a sunny spot in my kitchen. I water regularly and feed with liquid veg feed from B+Q. I have a photo They are Performers which are supposed to do well in pots? Any help would be appreciated,
Ciaran

Hi
They don't look too good do they. I would put them outside, (more light), and is there any possibility they have been too wet - (watered too much).
My spring onions were doing fine until they got infected with rust from the garlic which has been badly infected. I ended up pulling most of them up but the ones I have left are growing fine. They are outside though and despite many periods of heavy rain have also been subjected to drying winds and drying soil.

| Looks like either overwatering or underwatering to me ciaranlan. More like underwatering with a touch of high temps from sun through a window. |

Thanks people, well that puts my mind to rest, I suppose I'll start again and be more careful with the watering. I have been guilty of overwatering. Thanks for the help |
