I got seeds of this grex from Experimental Farm Network in US. I was very pleased with the results. From 20 modules with a couple of seeds in each, came these lovely big, mostly red onions. If they store as well as they were selected to do, then I’ll be doubly pleased.

I’m wondering though whether I lifted them rather early for best storage - and that probably applies to my other onions too. We were having a lot of damp weather and the tops were looking a bit mildewed so I thought they might well dry off better under cover. But perhaps they need to dry with their roots still in the ground to form more dry outer skins. If so, lesson learned but perhaps, given the damp weather, optimum finishing conditions just weren’t available this season.
