The woman on G's World who sowed all her onions from seed was very interesting. I only watched it yesterday - I think it's the first one of the new series, but it was the same programme as the one with the chap who had the National Collection of Astrantias . She certainly wasn't worried about sowing in trays and then transplanting them Might be worth watching @Sheps, if you've not seen it.
Could you put the carrots down lower or similar, to give them a bit of shade if you haven't got any other shading organised?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi @Fairygirl yes... I watched the same segment on GW and sowed my onions in the same way she does.
I have internal shading, my greenhouse curtains if you remember 😁 but they are only of use in the morning and afternoon, I could put up the external shading if needed. It's when the sun is end on at about midday that causes the issues I think.
@Sheps, they're looking good, I'd let the carrots develop some more true leaves before planting outside. For the spring onions, I plant mine outside when they're 3 to 4" high , I plant in groups of around a dozen plants together spaced a few inches apart, it works for me because I then just dig up a group at a time.
Carrot envy here @Sheps - mine aren't even showing - they are either very shy or just playing silly carrots Salads doing well tho so hope yours are too.

More curtain wire and curtains needed me thinks 🤔

Thanks for the Idea 👍

If it wasn't going to be so cold at night I'd risk planting out the carrots, but it will be close to freezing tonight.
