Can anyone suggest an onion set, both winter and summer, that is mild tasting? I usually grow sen shyu to overwinter and sturon for summer, both these are considered to be fiery by friends and family.

Senshyu are considered a mild onion ... perhaps try Snowball for winter growing?

For summer, there are plenty of sweet varieties (Spanish white type or maybe a red onion?)  Many however, have to be grown from seed rather than from set.  I'm sure others can recommend one for you (I prefer strong flavoured onions so not a lot of help, sorry)

Thanks Ann, yeah Senshyu are quite mild, it is the summer ones I find strong.

I grew Ellista this year from plants bought from DT Brown. They seem to be sweet & mild.
