We live in an exposed site above the bay in Kissamos. Our neighbour gave me the root of an onion - I think he was interested to see if it grew! Well, it lived in water in a shot glass on the window sill in the living room and sprouted soon after. It now has a very healthy long green shoot (about 2.5cm) but what do I do with ONE onion now? Our neighbour was thrilled when I told him it had taken so I would not want to disappoint him...! Do I pot it on and keep it on the window sill indoors? If so, where and when do I plant it out and will it produce sets of its own in due course? I know that when planted outdoors it will need well fed soil (ours isn't great) so any tips on what to dig in would be welcome. Our garden centre seems only to have compost and our garden is very new (it was mostly builders' rubble and poor white soil).
Thank you!
