Last year I bought our "sturon" and "Red baron" onion sets from a very well known seed merchant. While the sturon were ok the Red baron were pitifully small and most were covered in mildew as they had been packeged whilst wet. A replacement package turned out to be just as bad. This prompted an emergency purchase from Wilko, the quality and size for the price charged was acceptable but not top drawer.
Today however, I popped into my local hardware store which sells an awfull lot of gardening stuff and found that they had onion sets in at 65 pence a pound. I was allowed to hand pick mine and came away with 4lb of onion sets for £2.60, all of which are large and in perfect condition.
For once, top drawer onion sets and at a rediculously low price to boot.
If you want any, the shop is
