I've used J Parkers on and off for years, they're good for bulbs, and for young plants. Quite cheap, but the plants are generally about a year younger than elsewhere, so you know you'll have to grow them on a bit.
Anyway, I went on their website to order a load of raspberry canes - 30 canes for £20.00, which will take a year or so to produce fruit. Ended up also buying 25 x Florence strawberry plants for £9.99
and then spotted that they've started selling onion sets...
Bearing in mind that I've spent small fortunes on sets in the last few years from big names like T&M and Marshall's, and every time they've arrived with a fair proportion of them going mouldy, I thought these couldn't be any worse... So, ordered 3 packs of 150 for £7.50. They arrived today, packed into paper bags, and they are the best quality onion sets I've had in 5 years! Good sized, firm, and not even the slightest sign of mould
Of course the final proof will be in the growing, but with 450 sets, if even half of them grow into decent onions then I'm winning
