Onion Sets: New Fen Globe (Heat Prepared)

Catalogue Code 1040-6000

Usually ready for despatch a few weeks before other heat prepared sets (often from early/mid March).

New Fen Globe can be planted in early March, allowing the roots to get well established while there is still plenty of moisture in the soil, so helping to beat summer drought.

Because it benefits from a longer growing period, New Fen Globe also yields a heavier crop than most. Reliably produces heavy crops of big, but still mild-flavoured onions.

Individual onions can weigh up to 1lb and, with careful culture, will make excellent showbench specimens. Grown as a normal crop, each pack of 100 sets should produce 50lbs or more of top quality onions.

Ready to harvest in late summer/early autumn, giving time to dry the bulbs naturally before storing them. Kept in a cool, dry, airy place, stored bulbs will stay in good condition right through to the following May.

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

Extra Long Keeping
Mild Flavour
Better Establishment
Reduced Bolting

Doing really well as of July -- strong foliage and bulbs are about 7cm across. Put them in at the end of March (garden in the Pennines). There were about 120 sets per bag -- more than advertised! They've coped well with the strange 2011 weather.
