Onions are one of our most invaluable vegetables and also one of civilisation’s oldest medicines. They can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and are anti-asthmatic, antibacterial and antiseptic. No seed sowing, no thinning, no fuss; just push them into the earth where you want them and watch them grow! – Unpack sets on arrival and spread in a light cool position until planting time. Allium cepa- Onion Electric is an Autumn Planting variety. Lovely, red-skinned onions with an elongated shape and gorgeous red-ringed flesh. Maturing in early summer, they are perfect in salads and stir-fries and survive the winter well. Weed rows of onions regularly. Onion sets are undemanding and will only require watering during particularly dry periods. Choose a dry day to loosen them from the ground with a fork. Leave them on the soil surface for a day or two until they have fully dried in the sun. Once dry, remove the top foliage and store them in a well ventilated, dry position. Bulbs can be stored in good conditions for up to 2 months.
