Sounds delish! I've not tried onions yet. Heard they're a bit tricky & vulnerable to rot or something.

Give em a try, honestly they’re so easy. I grew a few tubs and had to throw away about half a dozen that where soft. Got loads left.

I may well. I was wondering if they grow over winter?

Buy a small bag of sets and put them in from towards the mid/end of next month . They need the cold. They’ll Hardly grow over winter but roots will settle then next year they’ll get going.

I used to buy cheapo Japanese from wilko but last couple of years I’ve bought from here . Tried Japanese, snowball and radar. Snowball where poor so going for radar again. You need to make sure they’re autumn sets. www.simplyseed.co.uk/onion-sets.h...
