For ages I’ve wanted to try growing the marvellous pink French onion ‘rosé de Roscoff’, aka Keravel; the sort Onion Johnnies used to bring to the UK on bikes and old Citroëns. I managed to find seed on a French website a couple of years ago but they didn’t do well. So this year I became obsessive and finally triumphed in finding onion sets by googling en français and a neat little packet duly arrived from La Bonne Graine in Anjou. They’re now planted in a sunny bed and I do hope they like it there.
