Wilcos have their onion sets in and now I have to make a choice. So which do you prefer -
Sturon, Stugar or Turbo?

I personally grow turbo from sets had no problems quite good size bulbs when lifted the G/C sells them loose so one can help themselves I like turbo but everyone to there own why not try a couple of varieties and see what does the best on your ground

to avoid any confusion - Stugar is aka Stuttgarter Onion Sets

Always gone with Sturon, never had any problems, will overwinter in garage until March/April as long as they are dried sufficiently. PS always bought from Wilko!

Another vote for sturon from me. Store very well and reliable cropper.

Popped in to our local small branch of Wilko, but they only had Sturon. I have ordered Turbo online but to pick up from the shop at no charge. �1.50 for 500g is a very good price. I bought Turbo sets the first year I had an allotment and they were fantastic. I haven't managed to get them since, so I am pleased Wilko has them at such a good price.

I'm still waiting for Santero to be available as sets. Has anyone got theirs yet?
