As anybody had a go with red over wintering onions, do they bolt like me summer reds allways do :(.
i had good results this year with red onions

Put me reds in,fingers crossed :-\, but belt n braces i put some normal in as well. :)
I always plant Radar and Red Electric overwinterers. The reds do tend to bolt a little more freely than the Radar - but as I have run out of stored onions by March I have those off the plot first. IMO they taste milder and sweeter eaten freash this way than the ones I harvest in June/July for storage.

This year I am planting Radar and one other yellow variety but I cant remember the name. I am trying Red Electric as a first time with overwintering red onions. Never grown over winter reds before. I usually plant whatever we get in our lottie shop and this year we got in some reds.
I had some you could have had... but I sold my spares at Eco-Fest last weekend... :-[
