		Leek F1 Flextan Hybrid Leek n£] Aprx 100 seeds £3.16 JS2757 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		An excellent variety for "Baby Leeks" which provide a mild-tasting alternative to spring onions - sow the seeds direct in their main growing positions in the spring (there's no need to thin or transplant them) and harvest the leeks through the summer. However this early variety is comparable to Goliath if left to mature to full size. It has a long shaft and erect leaves, with some rust resistance.
		Leek Autumn Mammoth Giant Leek n£ Aprx 250 seeds £1.95 JS2211 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		This early variety is comparable to Goliath if left to mature to full size. It has a long shaft and erect leaves, with some rust resistance. Can also be used for succulent baby leeks and therefore a useful multi purpose variety.
		Leek Blue Solaise Giant Leek n£ Aprx 100 seeds £2.95 JS3025 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		A French heirloom winter variety that is both extremely hardy and attractive with dark green bluish purple tinted leaves in cold weather and a thick short white stem. A great flavour and with its blue leaves makes a beautiful addition to the ornamental border for winter attraction.

		Hybrid variety with a neat, attractive appearance and uniform habit. Medium white shanks of good size, and dark green foliage. Very little wastage. One of the best hybrid leek varieties currently available.
		Onion Ailsa Craig Prizewinner Globe Straw Onion n£ Aprx 250 seeds £1.21 JS2218 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		I have been growing onions from seed for many years, as the results are far superior to sets, both in size and quality, with little or no running to seed. Ailsa Craig is a large onion with a good flavour and for us keeps until early spring when strung up in bunches in our kitchen. Sow in Jan/Dec in heat and grow on in small pots before planting out in early April for the best results.
		Onion F1 Despina Globe Onion n£ Aprx 250 seeds £2.49 JS2920 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		A new large globe variety, producing a high yield of good quality, round bulbs early in the season. Features bright white flesh, healthy green foliage and a thin neck. Good tolerance of Botrytis and Downy Mildew and keeps well for over wintering.
		Onion Kelsae Giant Show Onion n£ Aprx 120 seeds £3.95 JS2885 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		Legendary show bench variety produces huge onions which regularly achieve world record weights. The variety still manages to combine this with excellent culinary properties.
		Onion Red Baron ORGANIC SEED Red Onion n£ Aprx 250 seeds £1.21 JS2219 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		A superb quality globe or semi globe red onion with an excellent flavour. Attractive deep red skin colour and medium storage. Over the years this variety and Ailsa Craig both proved reliable and the best option for our own vegetable patch.
		Onion North Holland New for 2012! Redmate or Blood Onion n£ Aprx 250 seeds £1.59 JS3070 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		Redmate is an excellent “duel purpose” variety of onion. It can be harvested early and eaten as a mild salad onion or, if l if thinned to 5” between plants and left to grow it will produce beautiful red coloured, mild flavoured bulbs. A very versatile onion with an intense colour (picture does not do it justice) and very popular with the hotel trade. These red stemmed "Spring Onions" add attraction to any salad plate.
		Onion Ramrod ORGANIC SEED Spring Onion or Salad Onion n£]] Aprx 500 seeds £1.59 JS2577 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		A recent British-bred salad onion with erect foliage and a mild flavour. A very versatile variety for spring and autumn production and its winter hardiness makes it a good variety for autumn sowing.
		Onion White Lisbon ORGANIC SEED Spring Onion or Salad Onion n£]] Aprx 500 seeds £1.59 JS2576 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		I don't think that Salads are the same without spring onions, and White Lisbon is one of the most popular of all. Long white stems, bright green tops and it's mild flavour makes it perfect for salads and stir-fries. Quick cropping but sow every two weeks from March to July for continued harvesting.
		Onion Welsh Red Stem Red Stem Welsh Onion (Allium fistulosum) n£]] Aprx 100 seeds £2.13 JS2552 (Click here for Larger Image)	Quantity:
		The Welsh Onion or Japanese bunching onion is a perennial originating in Siberia that produces clumps of hollow leaves up to 2ft tall. It is an excellent evergreen substitute for spring onions, sow seed in March in drills ½in deep and 1ft apart. Thin the seedlings to 9in and remove leaves as required. The clumps will increase in size each year but quality deteriorates over time, so lift and divide them every 3 years. We offer the red stem form that is a little hardier than the green and adds additional colour to salads etc.
