Post by: telboy on January 13, 2011, 17:44:14: I do hope your onion sets prove to be OK kippers garden.
A couple of us had serious white rot last year from Wilkos onion sets.
Not proof of course, but as I had never suffered from it in 32 years on my plots, I bought elsewhere this year.
Good luck and report back!
