Morning all. Anyone ever grown comred onions from sets? I bought some the other day from my local nursery. Never tried red ones before, something different for 2012

Grew Red Baron last year. The crop was disappointing.... 

[AlaninCarlisle]

Yes, I found the same with Red Baron. In fact for the last four years I've grown them alongside usual Sturon, Stuttgarter etc and they've always disappointed in size

and Sunny makes three -- red baron much much smaller and didn't keep so well

Haven't grown the one you mentioned -comred - but let's hope you get a better crop than we did with RB

I must remember to post some pictures in the summer then

We'll look forward to seeing photos of lovely red onions in the harvest thread, Rich.

we grew red baron from sets and had medium size onions we also grew red baron om daughters allotment 12 miles away and black soil turned out a really good size well worth growing

there is a red variety called Karmen to grow available for both seed and sets haven't actually grew this variety though
