Title: Yellow Globe onion - over wintering?
Post by: JohnB47 on August 24, 2010, 15:40
Hi.

I noticed a tray of these selling for £1.99 at my local garden centre (around 20 seedlings I think). They're marked as Yellow Globe Onion (Winter) and the harvesting instructions say harvest when they're big enough to use.

So, are these over wintering ones? Anyone tried them? I grew Radar and Sensui Yellow (from sets) last time and had reasonable success, although quite a few went to seed. Just wondering what to try putting down this Autumn and whether to try seeds/seedlings rather than sets (or maybe a mixture of both).

Thanks.
