Overwintering onion recommendation

[danniiangel]

I'd like to grow some onions. The seeds I tried earlier in the year didn't work at all, and I'm hoping I'll have more success with sets. I'm very much a beginner and would appreciate some advice on what to grow. I want something that will store well too.

Thanks

Dannii

I have got Senshyu Yellow to try this year I dont know what I planted last year. I am also planting Red onions Electric and shallots. Last year I didnt plant nearly enough so this year I have already got 100 white one's in and will plant 100 red as soon as I can.

Overwintered onion sets don't store well when harvested. I only grow around 50 and then ~100 of the spring planted sets. The secret is to eat the overwintered ones quickly! I'm growing the Radar variety this year.
