I am trying some October planted onions for an early crop next June. A proportion I am going to plant in a cold but airy greenhouse for a bit of protection. I intend picking these before I plant next years tomatoes but we will see.

\nVarieties Considered<\/strong><\/p>\n

Onion Troy for round bulbs and good skin quality form Unwins. They also offer Shallots called Yellow Moon but they needed to be planted by September.<\/p>\n

Senshyu the original ‘Japanese overwintered’ variety which has proven successful for many years. Semi flat, more yellow\/brown skinned for late June maturity.<\/p>\n

Shakespeare a smaller brown skinned variety of onions and others\u00c2\u00a0 from Thompson & Morgan <\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the end I have opted for Electric a red skinned Onion from De Ree a supplier to Focus. They claim to be planted through November so I shouldn’t be too late if I get cracking now.<\/p>\n

Feed back – not a great success – poor crop but to be fair they got little attention.<\/em>
\nThe results outside were no better but I blame the Yorkshire weather this winter. I am sticking to normal onion growing this year but am trying varieties with different characteristic to vary cropping.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
