I planted some onions in the autumn but forgot what they were. I noticed last week they were going to seed so started to dig them up. They look and taste like very large spring onions. 
I’d like to grow them again but can’t discover what they are ?

Would you remember the name if you saw it again? I don't think there that many different over winter type onions varieties, if indeed they were this type you planted.   
I keep a diary of such things, as my memory is not what it used to be. Or so I'm told!

For over-wintering spring onions it seems that White Lisbon and Guardsman are the two most well-known ones. There are a few other varieties for harvesting during the year, but think yours are one of these two.

Gracianiz - the easiest way is to have a look at the different types of forums mentioned on the home page and note down those you are interested in. When you've had enough of gardening ones, go to the Chatting on the plot one because you can talk about all sorts of things except politics, religion, and anything else that could potentially upset us posters. If you are new to gardening, don't be afraid to ask questions as we are all still learners. Would you mind putting where you live in your profile as it helps to know your climate area if you have a query - thanks.

Were they over-winter onion sets that you planted? Can you remember where you bought them? that may at least narrow it down a bit

I think they were White Lisbon, grown from seed, I remember putting some in a seed tray last year. I’m going to do as suggested and start a notebook of what I’m growing.😀😁

A very good idea

Yes, it does help to keep records of seed varieties, date of sowing, planting etc, along with any other comments such as where you planted what, how well they grew, how they tasted, and anything else that will help you in your plans for next year. Just keep it simple and put it by your chair so when you come in from the garden it will remind you to fill it in.
