Where Onion Fly is known to be troublesome and
conditions are favourable for Onion plants over-wintering,
sow in a nursery seed-bed good keeping varieties of
Onions for transplanting the following March. Suitable
varieties of Lettuce may also be sown, transplanting in
October to a well-drained and protected site to stand
the winter.
