Onion and Leek seed advice

frugalsar

HI there, I planted Onion seeds three weeks ago and leek seeds a week ago and niether are showing any signs of growing, the onion trays are starting to smell a wee bit also? Shall I bin them and is there time to start again??
the onions are on a window sill in the house and the leeks are in a plastic greenhouse outside, should I bring them in and see if that makes a difference?

We planted our onions from sets on allotment, have never grown them from seed. I have two trays of leeks in mini greenhouse with no signs yet of plants showing but I think it will take a little longer this year as the weather is so cold. Always had a good crop of leeks before so hoping its just the cold. I also have sweetcorn and tomatoes in trays with no sign of life yet.

I planted some onion sets in my raised bed but no sign of coming yet. I think its the cold everything seems late this year it will catch up unless rain and cold continues

iattempted growing onion from seed but had no success and binned the lot, i then purchased onion sets and have had some success with the ones i started indoors and planted out, but the ones i planted directly outside in my raised bed haven;t dine a thing, i think that may be because it is too cold and the earth hasn;t warmed sufficiently yet.

I have sown two lots of leek seeds, value range and Suttons and neither are doing anything, but i have heard they are slow to grow ( and they won;t be harvested for a long while anyway) so am not too worried yet.
