      Excellent - red ones too! I always find them much harder as they tend to bolt.

      I have mixed results - at home the onions are rather small whereas at my friend's they are huge. The main differences are that I mulched the ones at my friend's with rotted horse muck and the ones at home with strulch, and there is much more sun at my friend's.

        Very good crop, did you use sets or seeds, and are they all grown in pots?
        it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

            Heat treated sets Red Fen, all grown in containers of one sort or another.

            I find the best containers I have for onions are three recycled plastic cold water storage tanks, cut down to about 9" deep.

            Thing is I have done nothing different this year than I always do, so am putting it down to 'they liked the weather'.
