Mildish in flavour but robust!
This superb autumn planting onion set matures a little later than Radar - from late July - yet keeps much better, storing in good condition until the end of the year. Whilst still mild-ish in flavour it's a little more robust than others offered here due to its slightly higher dry matter content. A fine one to grow if you only have room for one autumn onion.

CULTURE: Choose a well-drained sunny position where the soil is reasonably good. Plant by setting 10cm (4") apart in rows 30cm (12") apart from mid September to early November so that only the tips of the small bulbs show above the soil surface. 200g - approximately 50 sets - will plant a row of about 5m (16'). When leaves turn yellow next summer, partially ease the bulbs out of the soil with a fork - this speeds the ripening process before harvesting.
