Has anyone tried these and proved them against white rot - i'd love to know as i suffer badly with infuriating disease on my plot - this could be revelation!

There was a big discussion on this issue a few years back, where I recall someone saying so.

Any rate, you are not losing much with trying them. I might be able to donate just a few seeds to try. As I grow them almost every year. A good onion, I like them.

Well ive ordered mine and they have been dispatched , so maybe in a few months i will be able to tell you all.
Oh and i found them cheaper.

Good luck - just remember that 'resistant' does not mean 'proof' though.

Yes i know Yorkie, but any help at all is needed on  our site. im going all out to grow onions this year i going to do a few things to battle it.

Im not going to use  the 'old boys unmentionable method' yet, but i know one  who is site this year.  Sorry  i Shouldn  have even mentioned this unmentionable method again  :blink:
