Onions
I'm about to order onion sets and got to thinking about which has the
best keeping qualities. I'm not looking for giant show size specimens, just reliable bog standard cookers, but, all things being equal long storage life is of prime importance to us. Your thoughts and recommendations would be very much appreciated. pp. |

What am I thinking about, that's a shallot not an onion. Too much Scotch obviously! -- Regards Bob Hobden |

I'm not looking for giant show size specimens, just reliable bog standard cookers, but, all things being equal long storage life is of prime importance to us. Your thoughts and recommendations would be very much appreciated. pp. We have always found Stuttgarter onion sets reliable and a good cropper. They are good cookers and seem to keep well. I would experiment unless you know your soil and climate, because what works here (Wallasey, north end of the Wirral) might not work for everyone. Also, our onions follow potatoes in a rotation, so the ground is composted a full year before the onions go in, depending on whether i get to dig the spud bed before the winter or not. Good luck anyway John |
