onion sets

[sarah]

Hi all. A week or two back i bought some cheap onion sets from wilkos. The bag of white ones seem  firm and healthy but the bag of red ones feel kind of empty and hollow. not firm. the are not mouldy or anything, but i am not sure if they are any good or not.  Do you think i should get some others or will they bee ok?

Cut a couple open & check? Reds are a bit funny.
If in doubt, put them in very close to each other to save room?

mine are exactly the same (from Wilko) white ones are firm and reds are quite hollow feeling but saying that two of them have sprouted in the bag!!

yes a couple of mine are too.  I have cut a couple open and they dont look too bad, maybe i will start a few off in modules see how they go and plant the rest direct and hope for the best. thanks guys.
