I planted some red onion sets a few weeks ago and the shoots have just started to appear.
The TopVeg website was able to provide me with excellent onion planting information.
Farming Friends & TopVeg have now collaborated to create a How To Grow Onions growing card.

Click on the image to enlarge and if you wish to print off this growing card, right click on the enlarged image and then click print picture to print out a copy.If you would like this document as a pdf, just contact farmingfriends and I will email you the document.
I intend to print off copies and then laminate the sheet so that I can use the growing card in the future.
Teachers, children, vegetable growers and anyone interested in growing onions are welcome to print off this growing card for their own use.
Other growing cards we have already created;
- How To Grow Garlic.
- How To Grow Lettuce.
- How To Grow Summer Radish.
- How To Grow Beetroot.
- How To Grow Broad Beans.
- How To Grow Parsley.
- How To Grow Sage.
- How To Grow Tomatoes.
If you have any other growing cards that you would like Farming Friends & TopVeg to create then please leave a comment and we will be happy to create it for you.
Hi David,
Thanks for the congratulations. I’ll let you know how the show turns out as I haven’t seen it yet. I don’t know if you can get it on DVD, but I am sure it will be on BBC iPlayer.
I like Greek cooking. Did I tell you that I used to learn greek? But I can’t remember too much now. I have found my photos of the Troodos mountains so will scan them in and send some to you.
Kind regards
Sara @ farmingfriends
Congratulations on your impending appearance on Ready Steady Cook. It was a great favourite with me when I was in UK. Will you be able to get a CD of the show as I know quite a few people in Cyprus who would like to see it. We are currently getting cds of Tonia Buxton in her Greek Kitchen courtesy of The Cyprus Weekly so I think there will be quite a bit of interest here
Best wishes
David
