Every year I have bought onion (Allium L.) (Allium L.) sets and have had a reasonable success rate
but I am considering, for the coming year, growing from seed. Has anyone any
experience of this and can advise me of the advantages and the
disadvantages.- and, perhaps, suggest any particular variety? I have looke4d
at the on-line catalogues but can't really make up my mind which to go for.



My reasons or wanting to change this year is that, the sets always get too
many small onions (Allium L.) (Allium L.) that never seem to do very well and, though they grow,
they remain fairly small. Also, I have no idea what type of onion (Allium L.) (Allium L.) they are.



As regards the position of my garden (which may well make a difference as to
what varieties I can grow) I live in Sussex, not far from the coast.



Regards,



John
