Frugal Living and an Attempt to Grow Onions

I bought onion seeds in 2008. They were on Buy One Get One Free from an eBid online auctions seller, so I have enough to last me for the next 2 years. I planted the seeds in a tray and left to germinate on the windowsill. I then transplanted the stragly, pathetic looking blades of stringy grass into the garden mid-May. They are quite amusing little plants to watch grow as they break through the soil doubled over and then slowly unfold and straighten. Within 2 to 3 weeks, most are flourishing, although a few got dug up by the neighbouring cats before I had time to get the netting all in place. The netting, again, was a 50m bargain roll from eBid. 2009 - New house, new garden and I have planted onion seeds and sets everywhere!
