Onion Sets: Electric

They look great hopefully they do as well as last years which did brilliant

These are pre-sold in August for September delivery, to be planted November onwards, but like several people have mentioned these tend to bolt quite early, which was what happened to me this Spring, after planting last November, in tubs.

That said, I'm buying them again this year, but they'll be over-wintering in a heated greenhouse. I suspect that the bolting is triggered by the bulbs going through a subzero cold spell, so if I can keep them around 8-10c over winter they may be less inclined to bolt.

Most likely my fault because I started them off in pots and couldn't get them in the ground till May and they all went to seed. I intend having my plot ready in September and not be having them in pots. They were beautiful large bulbs so I will be buying them again.

I look forward to your e-mails

Didn't come to anything due to weather issues I think. However have been disappointed in some seed packets. Some were not the correct item and others had far less seeds in them than stated.
