At this time of year ... my walking onions (seed from Finland) have just germinated, as have my "Sonic" red onions ... both sourced from that well-known auction site. I've read that the "Florence"-type red onions are winter hardy (though it didn't mention that in the catalogue), so I've started some of those, and I've got some seed left from an "Electric" red onion that flowered last year. I've just this weekend harvested my "Electric" onions, from the same batch of seed, that were sown last year, albeit a little later, (the originals were a packet of sets that were planted the previous October). The few Walking Onions I sowed at the end of August last year are now bunching (but not walking ??? ) though they taste very nice ... next year I'll have a lot more ;D Oh, and I nearly forgot, I've got a batch of Welsh onions (red, blue and white) just starting and I'll be getting some over-wintering spring onions (scallions) ... probably White Lisbon ... sown in the next week or two.
