We here at home have been thinking(dangerous) since Gardeners World, about
the economics regarding growing them.
The difference in taste say, between a shop bought new potato and a home
grown is enormous as is a tomato or broad beans or most vegetables we grow.

We wonder can anyone truly say that a home grown onion which has been
stored tastes any different from a shop bought?

We are talking pennies to buy a 5kg sack, versus the time, room and effort
it takes us to get the same.

Just wondering because the garden here is quite small and we feel the room
we have could have been managed better than we have done.

I only grew onions once, decided that the amount of work/care involved
wasn't worth it when I can buy them as and when I need them.
The ones I grew may have been slightly stronger tasting, but not
significantly so.
