Don't forget to use any thick-necked onions first as they are the hardest to dry completely, and rot usually starts at the neck. Thick necks will always result from the onion having bolted, but sometimes there are variations between different bulbs which haven't bolted (I have no idea why!)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

For the first time last year I stored my strung  onions under the carport in the fresh air all winter instead of in the shed and not one went mouldy  ;)

My onions have turned out to be a real mixed bag good sized ones and piddlers, a few have toppled over and I've started using these
