Onions need a long season to grow to their optimum size as well as getting a sufficient period to ripen up properly so that you have every chance of storing them well into the following new year, sowing right now from seed is therefore essential. Large onions for the heavy classes and for exhibition to be sown now to the end of January include Kelsae, Ailsa Craig Selected, Robinsons Mammoth, Beacon, Lancastrian, Bedfordshire Champion and Unwins Exhibition.
