Some of your Potato Onions are really chunky. Have you been selecting for size. Looks super

After harvesting I always save the best I have grown for saving.

I do this with every type of flower or veg I save.

My philosophy is that saving the best gives me a better chance of growing the best which is essential if you want to exhibit flowers and veg.

Most of the top growers / exhibitors I know do some form of selection.

I do not exhibit anymore but old habits die hard hence me still saving the best.

So the answer to your question is yes  they are selected bulbs.
