Can you recommend a variety of onion that I can grow for pickling. The pickling onions in the shops are too big and not nearly crisp enough.

Kathleen we plant out cream gold for pickling have done it for years. Plant them close together rather thickly and harvest in summer. They can sit around for ages if needed before you pickle them. Very crisp.
