Evening Folks

I read in another thread that some Onions are good for sowing now
Which sort are best and are there any red onions ok to sow his time of year

If you want seeds Garden Organic have Keepwell and Shenshyu. If it's sets your after Shenshyu and Radar for whites and Electric for reds. I personally like Radar and Electric but the Keepwell did just that. I think there is a white variety (silvermoon?) which can be Autumn planted.

There are a few seeds that can be sown now for overwintering, you will have to search the seed companies online to find them, One I have grown in the past is called Hi-keeper, think it was from Marshalls there is also at least one red one. I am going with sets this year and have ordered a multi pack of 300 for just under £12 inc postage, three different varieties including a red one. Should be here in the next month or two.

I've just sown some Senshyu seeds a couple of days ago. I will also grow some from sets as they did really well for me last year.

Senshyu was the 'original' japanese onion and although i've tried others i still think it is the best!
