I have bought some onions from the garden center today but i am a little unsure how to plant them as present they look like large spring onions do i just plant the root and leave the ball bit on top of the soil or do i bury the ball with the roots, thanks

They were not reduced they looked really healthy, the lable doesnt give the variety it just says a well established variety popular in france bronze skinned globe shaped onion is ideal for slicing raw. Planting and cropping plant mid march or July to grow over winter for early spring cropping. Spacing 12cm apart any type soil, they are not the little onion sets that i have seen before these have a root a white ball (onion) and green stalk about 15cm high, i just dont know how they should be planted, in the container they are in the ball sits above the soil is this how i should plant them? thanks

Just plant them like sets then. Bit odd though, I would expect them just to bolt as they seem almost fully grown, but have a go.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
