288 onions up-potted!! Wow, dont want to make that mistake again.

I usually start my onions from store bought bulb seed onions. This year I wanted to move towards seed started onion for more sustainable, and proven variety genetics.

The mistake was starting them in 4" pots. They germinated great but quickly got too crowded. I then had to pot them in 72 cell trays and boy does that take a while. #Learn from my mistakes and start with the 72cell tray. They can go straight from the this tray to outdoors. No potting up needed, a d save yourself 2 hours of your life 😉

Hopefully planting celery and broccoli soon.

I sow in 4 rows in open flats about 300 seeds per flat or about 5 seeds per inch. No need to thin or up pot. Just scoop out and plant when weather permits for me usually 8 to 10 weeks later.
