Each year our Society provide us with onions, shallots, garlic and Broad Beans, and Kings Seeds at substantially reduced prices.
This year’s selection of winter onions sets and shallots include ‘Senshyu’ an easy to grow yellow semi-globe onion with a superb taste and Autumn Winter; along with ‘Blood Red’ onions which have rich crimson outer skins and round generous bulbs. These onions can be eaten raw or roasted but are also versatile enough that they can be picked early as a salad onion.
The onions come in a weight of 250grams which is equivalent to approximately 60 individual sets at a cost of £1.00
