Ailsa Craig Onions

[KevinM67]

Ailsa Craig is a long day onion? I have to say I've only just found out onions need lots of sun or they won't bulb up. I've planted 4 in a sunny spot and am at least seeing strong leaves and a little bulb. It won't take long to beat my own personal record onion. My seeds were 60p from Wilko in there value range. I also bought student parsnip and icicle radish for the same price.

Have you never been to Ailsa Craig in the Forth of Clyde ?

A tropical paradise, where the onions skip freely alongside the bananas, passion fruit and water melons.
In the evenings it's hammock time, gently swaying away, whilst gazing at the glorious sunset, listening to bossa nova and patting it leaves down with a bit of after-sun lotion.

It says long day onion everywhere I go? Never grown it before hope I can get it bulbing where I live.

I've grown Ailsa Craig from seed for 2 years now - ie not very long! This year was less good than last, but still got me a big bag of them.

Start mine in Feb and get a range of onions from respectable to whoppers. Plus I haven't much room (I need space for my squash addiction) I'm not stuck with a load of unwanted sets.
