Must admit when I first saw those onions I thought you were on to a winner and I was right,well done!

I noticed your society made it easier by saying 12 oz usually it's 8 oz and that is much harder, although I think yours might have been in that range!

Once again....well done...Tg

Thanks Tg.. interesting... Possibly because we are so good at growing we just cant grow them smaller!!  :toothy10: - just weighed them and they are just a tad shy of 7 ozs..
