I am currently storing 3 varieties of Onions in my garage in plastic crates.   I grew the onions this year in my garden. The onions are;                                               'Ailsa Craig' grown from seed.     'Red Brunswick' grown from seed. and  'Turbo' grown from sets.
When some of my onions in my onion bed bolted I pulled them out and replaced them with sets so 'Turbo' was planted about 3 months late and probably, as a result, didn't grow to full size.
I was given 2  'Show Onions'. I have stored them in exactly the same conditions with the other onions and so was surprised when one started to 're-grow' without any encouragement from me. It's now my intention to grow this onion on and hopefully get some seed, something I have never don before.                                                 The big drawback I can see with growing these extra big onions is their short 'shelf life'.   I am not looking to make any extra work here and have no intention of filling my freezer with Onions.                                            So the question I have to the growers of this type of Onion is:
 Do these big 'Show Onions' store?
