Bob did well with his red onions "RED SUPREME" from sets.His brother picked them up on his travels in a shop.Does anybody know whether or not they can be bought from a catalogue? If so which one?

A warm welcome to the forum Snooky.

I have had a quick look around, but can't find anyone that stocks "RED SUPREME" Onions, maybe someone else might be able to help.

How is Bob and his Brother keeping?

The only reference I can find to Red Supreme is on this RHS blog
Might lead you to a supplier.

Thanks for the information Old Herbaceous & Alan Refail.Further converstion with Bob suggests that maybe the commercial arm of Suttons? might be the suppliers. Bob is fine. A bit brassed off with the weather,the rain is keeping in his allotment shed!! Thanks for the welcome to the forum. Have to go new skittles season starting tonight, have to go get"polished"and go play!

Ahem... far be it from to brag, but we got Best in Show at the local produce show with our Red Baron onions. Just thought you might all like to know that....

Dear Pongeroon, indeed, we are pleased to hear of your achievment, well done.

Congratulations from me too. You're not bragging at all. It's not easy to grow a prize-winning red onion.

OOOEEEOOOEEEOOOEEE!
Hi Pongeroon,
Sound of your Ambulance taking you to hospital suffering from shock after winning!
Very well done. Proud of you!
JB.

It was a bit like that JB!
Thank you all for your congratulations. I don't know how we can top that next year, although I have set myself the challenge of winning the chocolate cake class. If you knew what my cake-making is like you would realise what a task I have taken on...good thing I have 12 months to practise...

Hi Pongeroon,
I don't know how to grow Chocolate-cakes. Can't find the sowing times anywhere!
JB.

Dear Pongeroon, if you need your chocolate cakes testing i might be able to help.

I'm quite a connoisseur when it comes to chocolate cakes.

JB, I think you will find mid-afternoon is the best sowing time for chocolate cakes, ready to harvest in time for tea.

OH, I hope you have a strong constitution...

Hi Pongeroon,
I suppose you plant the "hundreds and thousands" and all these years I thought they were just for decoration and all the time they were seeds!
JB.
PS this seems to get worse as the days go by!

Dear Pongeroon, i do have a strong constitution, and also my own teeth, so the first burnt attempts should not be a problem.

Oo, oo! the secret ingredient in my favorite chocolate cake recipe is raspberry jelly. would you get extra points if you made something that included produce from your plot? (the other secret is to double the amt of chocolate icing the recipe calls for, but that's just me.
