Ponderosa Pink, Howard German, Debrao and in the middle Austral Red. (Howard German with that green top looks very much like an Italian San Marz type that I didn't get to sow!)

Ray, i'll have to look at the packets to get the real names for all these onions (and work out some way to hide the labels from the b'birds!!!)

Italian torpedo onions. I think they are called ROSSA DI FIRENZE - TROPEA not to be confused with the globe Red Florence.

Those Red Florence look amazing Lomatia. I wish I had the room to grow onions apart from spring onions. Tried a few times here and only had one successful year. If you dont get the timing right they all bolt to seed.

I did, but we have a category of jokes in this house/many local houses/schools/mine sites/universities/churches (did I say churches?) and pubs called "Bob/Dad/Mr.Reid/Poppy Jokes" that have many similar 'yeah right' responses.....and an archive like you wouldn't believe. We have an unspoken rule not to humour the joker otherwise they keep coming... I knew there was something about Raymondo that seemed familiar...............
