Another for onions from seed. Three to try are Golden bear F1, Red amposte and long red of Florence all from premier seeds on Ebay at 99p per pack. Golden bear and red amposte keep really well long red Florence do not store for too long but are an excellent onion for use at any stage in their growth. Sow them early indoors in a very large pot and let them grow until you are ready to transplant. Simply knock them out of the pot trim the roots lightly and dib them in... works for me and I have some really cracking onions. The other way is to sow three seeds per 1" module and then plant them all together at a decent spacing into well prep'd raised bed (a la Charles Dowding) again got some really good onions.
