Onion Seeds

After empyting all three seed trays they got a scrub and were submerged in hot water in an effort to kill the green slime that had grown on the edges. They were dried in direct sun light and left there for a while in the hope the sunlight would kill any remaining spores.

One tray was prepared with onions:

20 red onion
20 Borettana Onion

This time the seeds were placed on top of the potting mix and then given a dusting over with a tiny amount of mix. Last time they were burrried an not many germinated. This time the seed tray didn't get a soaking of water from above.
