‘Red Winter’ is an overwintering onion that has red tinged skin, superb flavour and keeps extremely well. The flesh is very crisp and sweet and is ideal for use in casseroles, salads and when fried.
Onion sets are small immature onion bulbs that have been grown from seed in the previous year. This makes them easy and quick to plant at short notice with sets ideally planted in the autumn, in time for an early harvest in the following year, around June or July.
These sets can be grown evenly spaced in containers or in rows in planting beds. Thoroughly dig over the soil, removing any weeds and add a general fertiliser to improve yields. If early hard frosts are forecast, protect shoots with a mulch of leaf mould or straw and water as normal when normal temperatures rise during late spring.
