Spring onion 'White Lisbon'

Latin: Allium fistulósum
Swedish: Salladslök ' White Lisbon'
English: Spring onion 'White Lisbon'
Producer: Bröderna Nelson, purchased some while ago this spring I think

Planted 8/6-2011 (See scheme for raised bed)
The raised bed contained for the most soil from the EcoCenter (low quality soil), but it was topped with high qualitative soil for vegetable cultivations from Hasselfors (2,5 bags).
15/6-2011 Still nothing
20/6-2011 Saw the first "greens" sticking out of the ground. Weeew....
Ok, I do understand it does not look like much to the rest of the world, especially those used to ICA Maxi's spring onions, but well...  I am rather happy... :O)
