Topic: Topsetting onions from Realseeds

[Robert_Brenchley]

They're offering four small bulbils (apparently it was a poor crop) for £2.40; I've just ordered four lots. They told me:

We grew them all mixed up and harvested them together. There 
are at lest 4 types there, but its hard to tell them apart. Two 
without a name from different people in the UK, plus catawissa & 
fleener varieties  from USA.

I have just planted Fleeners, Catawissa and Mc Cullarrs which I got here. I thought mine were expenisve but that is very high.

I planted Fleeners in the early part of the year and many didn't make it so they replaced them.

The Fleeners look white,the McCullars are greenish and the Catawissa are red

I shall watch with interest how they do for you Robert

I don't think there's anywhere else here selling them. Once you've got them you've got them; I know Catawissa, but I want the others.

Robert, I have more than one variety but my own computer died, so I will have to go out and look at labels in the morning. I have moritz, catawissa, mccullars (not sure if it was a no show) Anyhow, I dont have many as only started with them a few weeks ago but happy to share what I can

[Robert_Brenchley]

Grow them on till next year, and depending on the size of the bulbils you're starting with, you should have plenty to share.
