Onion sets

[Mrbarry]

Any one got any going spare? I have planted out as many as I can but a pack of 100 of them where rotten as a pear. It seems there’s a national shortage this year with everyone off work doing gardening and diy.

I feel your pain. The other year we got white rot in the onions. No more onions for around 8 years

Ouch that wouldn’t be good. I like my gardening, no I love it actually. I have a large lawn that takes two hours to mow and I must admit that’s a bit much, it’s ok some days, but when it’s growing and needs doing every 5 or 6 days and I have to get it done between work, rain and other commitments, I wish it was much smaller. So rewarding to see it done tho. I grow veg too obviously, I’m not especially successful but I do enjoy it. This year I wanted to do 150 onions, a row of beans, three rows of carrots and a big patch of spuds. Onions had gone off in the bag tho. No onions for 8 years would be a nightmare they are my favourite veg to grow. 
Going to get a greenhouse up this summer. Try some more tropical stuff in there.
