The huge onion that I was given back in October and planted for seed seems to be growing away nicely. I planted it in a large pot having stripped back a couple of inches of the outer flesh to stop it from going rotten.
It has thrown out two sets of foliage and has been kept in my conservatory over the winter. It does get quite cold in there at night but I haven't overwatered it so it seems quite happy. When the outside temperatures improve I shall house it in my greenhouse and then leave it outside to fend for itself over the summer months before it hopeully throws up some flower heads in the early autumn.
I'll take further pictures during the spring and summer to show how it's progressing.
