Pound shop Onions

[Jimmy]

Manchester Arndale pound shops are selling onions.

Upper shop 200g
Lower shop 300g

Got a 300g bag of Red Baron.

Anyone used them before ?
Did they work OK ?
No bolting ?

I've bought them from our local £shop, and they grew ok with no more bolting than usual.

Make sure they're not already soft when you buy them, though.

[Chippy Minton]

I got mine from B&M, no problems, no bolting at all, but then it's cold and miserable hereabouts

[Aberdeenplotter]

Red Barron awful for bolting wherever you buy them

[Potstubsdustbins]

Heat treatment helps as you now AP, but I doubt you'd get those from the pound shop. Marshalls have bought out an alternative Red Fen which is supposed to be less prone to bolting.
