Has anyone mastered the technique of growing red onions from sets without them running to seed early? 
I grew red onion sets many years ago and had problems so stopped growing them Two years ago I tried autumn planted red onion sets (thinking the sellers may have got their act together by now) and actually got a decent crop off them.
This year I did the same and the majority have bolted.
I don't think I am alone in this as other plot holders onions have suffered the same fate.
I tried red onions from seed but they are a bit of a faff on so have given up on these too. I do have red torpedo onions grown from seed but they are way behind where I think they should be growth wise.
Has anyone had any joy with the more expensive heat treated red onion sets and are they worth a go?
