Onion Set Collection (Heat Prepared)

Catalogue Code 1040-6017

Heat Prepared Onion sets are specially heat-treated for 20 weeks to help prevent bolting. Heat preparation also extends the growth period which means that greater yields can be achieved.

Our Heat Prepared Collection includes 1 pack each of:

Marshalls Fen Early - A superb onion producing one of the earliest crops from a spring planting.

Hyred - the first hybrid onion, deeper and stronger flavours which store superbly.

Hytech F1 - A bolt resistant Rijinsburger type producing uniform, firm, round onions. These have a superb, slightly sweet flavour, making them ideal for eating either raw or cooked - they are particularly delicious when fried!

Sets will be released from the preparation rooms just as soon as they are ready for planting.

Delivered
Late March / Early April. Expected week commencing 23rd March.

I'm not sure if it was the year or if I did something different this year but it's the best crop ever. I've strung up loads so they should last until my Autumn sets are ready. I've grown these for years (with a name like that I've got to grow them!) but all three varieties were brilliant.

If you want prize winning onions grow Marshalls heat treated Hyred. This year I grew this variety for the first time and last weekend they came first in the onion section of our village garden show, when many people had poor onion crops. I bought the heat treated sets as part of an onion set collection priced at only £8.95 for 300 bulbs, so extremely good value. Three onions weigh 800g (1 lb 12 oz) and as the other two types of onion in the collection also performed very well I must have considerably more than 100 lb, probably nearer 150 lb! Better still, they taste as good as they look and although I didn't water them none bolted, they also have thin necks so I assume they will keep well.
