Which onions to try?

[SusieG]

I'll be growing onion sets into large grow bags.
Advice please, as to which variety would be best?

[Penellype]

I like Sturon, which are reliable, keep well and are not too strongly flavoured.

[WendyC]

I've had good success with Santero which is resistant to downy mildew.

[Tripmeup]

Are you looking to grow red, white or golden?

[SusieG]

Thanks - will look out for both of these varieties

[SusieG]

Tripmeup, golden...

I'm growing a few different ones so I won't bore you with each but the one I'm excited about is wallah wallah from seed that are apparently so sweet you can eat them like an apple

I would suggest NOT to grow barron, dunno about everyone else but I just done get anything to write home about, they are the size of golf balls.

I am trying santero like wendy but looking for others so will be following this thread

I'm growing white queen from france and mammoth from the Harrogate show both from seed

[SusieG]

Wallah wallah!

Spunky, never heard of 'wallah wallah' - going to have to look them up. But eating like an apple ... Sounds a bit unusual !!

[SusieG]

White queen sound lovely Jonny !
Saw some heat treated sets from marshalls, VC, but was going to cost me more in postage than the sets ... So haven't purchased yet ...
