In My Seedbox for 2023 - Onion Sets

This year I have gone for a 250g pack that contains around 80 sets for planting of Karmen from Mr Fothergill's. 

Karmen have an exceptionally sweet taste that makes this red onion perfect for salads, sliced on top of burgers, or any cooked dishes that require a light, sweet onion.  Crisp white flesh with crimson circles. 

Karmen £4.95 item code 56170

New to Mr Fothergill's this year are Pink Panther onion sets which are a sought-after variety, which produces a generous crop of tasty, somewhat flat-topped onions. Unusual pink skinned variety, its red flesh has a mild, sweet flavour when cooked – and if you have more than you need, they will last well when stored.

There are approx. 80 sets per 250g pack and I have ordered 2 packs so that's approx. 160 sets 

Pink Panther - Cost £5.95 a 250g pack - Item code 56629

Mr Fothergills Snowball is a superb white variety, excellent for culinary use with a full mild flavour. Produces attractive, bright white bulbs with white flesh. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 15cm (6").  Stores well. There are approx. 75 sets per 250g pack. and I have 2 packs 

Sets planted in the spring should be ready for harvesting from late summer/early autumn.
