Autumn Onions - Worth A Go?

From an earlier garlic thread

I go through the entire display selecting the packs with the biggest bulbs in and check that they're not soft or have signs of mould. I rarely buy garlic as I re-plant every year, but every so often I when I need new stock I get them at £2.99 less 10% (discount card) = £2.69 for 55 cloves = 5p per clove. The prices on the site JWK posted a link to made me feel quite unwell.

 

This is my third winter with the winter onions and they have been great .I planted mine last week,.Several on our plot use them .I would suggest you have a go if you have never tried them .

 

Cheap garlic now at Wilko http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/wilkos-half-price-sale.42517/page-16#post-869554 2.5p/clove and reports are that it's strong flavoured.
