I am starting to really get into this home growing sort of stuff :)

I am growing red onions and runner beans and a tomato plant.

The red onion seeds have recently like grown little white things (like like mini worms lol) so when do i need to re plant them into bigger pots/troughs and how do i do that?

Also my runner bean seeds have slit and are slowley growing when do i train them up pole things lol and where when do i plant them into bigger things

sorry for these questions which might make me seem dumb but i want to know i am doing them properly lol.

Thanks in advance x

    Not really a good idea to replant onions, they tend to bolt of roots are disturbed, too late now. Just let them grow until they are much bigger, the size of your finger, then do it, but be aware you may not get "store able" onions

    Runner beans, just leave them alone as well. Are they outside or in? I hope inside as there is ample time for a frost to kill them off if outside

    When they are about as long as your hand [6" or so] they will start to twine looking for supports, that is when you plant them out, normally you do not plant out into bigger things, they go from wahtever pots / loo rolls you germinated them in to outside in one go [after hardening them off]

    I have repotted onions loads of times and not had any problems with bolting? Mind you that was just from seed trays into the ground.

    Bit early for runners tho. We have broadies on the way, but will hold off on runners and french beans for a couple more weeks, but this obviously depends where you are. In the NW here but am sorely tempted as it is so warm at the mo-kids in shorts running around in the sun here lol.

    The runner beans seads (i put 2 in one pot) have both sprouted and have like a long slim stem with like a leafy thing lol each and the red onions have little bright green stems about the length of a long thumb nail. I am watering them everyday and they are inside on the window sil.
