I really want to give overwintering onions a go and have been reading up on all the varieties, but i cant find any for sale except senshyu yellow. I wanted to try Kaizuku and Imai and anything else (recommendations please!) but just cant find the seed in the uk. I know i have to sow it asap too, can anyone point me in the right direction.

Senshyu and Sonic are widely available, I think mine come from D T brown or Moles seeds.
I sow in small square pots, up to 6 seeds, thin to 3 0r 4, over-winter in a coldhouse and plant out in the New Year weather permitting, if late keep feeding and they will not suffer.

Hi all,
Got some fantastic results from the onion sets for overwintering from B&Q last year,- and still eating them
(the size of a small football they are)

Mark.
