I received my onion sets yesterday. 80 X Sturon sets and 50 X Centurion F1 sets. They were both similarly priced so I imagine the difference in quantity was because Centurion is an F1 variety?
I have grown Centurion a couple of years ago and they were great.(I didn't know they were F1) I couldn't get any last year.
The Autumn planted onion sets planted in the allotment, both red and white have made very little growth this time and are only a couple of inches high.
Once I get these new sets planted (which won't be for a while yet) it will be interesting to see how the maturity times differ, if at all.
I have been self sufficient in onions for a long time now and hopefully the onions I have in store will see me through until the Japs start maturing. If need be I will pull a few 'in the green' to tide me through.
