Well done sir! Approximate date of sowing? and how protected during the winter? (Maybe just the tropical east coast!!)

September sowing no protection as said just the tropical sunshine coast i must say even on our site i have the most sheltered plots on the site that why they all come to me for coffee the phrase often used is its like the Caribbean up this end often im in shirt sleeves and the rest are in jumpers lol

My autumn planted onions, put out under a polycloche, have been neated cropped off about 3"above gro und, bl**dy voles! ,I think.
 Not quite sure if they will sprout again from the root, never had that before (to onions) They got 16 /18 Aquaduce too, Little nippers have replied , up into double figures now.
