I find the best seed supplier on ebay is premier seeds. Other than that seed parade are good and cheap for standard varieties. Chiltern seeds have some really interesting "different" seeds.
Egytian walking onions are different to Welsh onions.

I got them for the first time this year, started with 5, now I've got 31... Next year who knows.
Next year it'll be potato onions hopefully...
Cheers,
I'm going to try overwintering this year as i have never managed to be self sufficient in onions. I've got circa 300 red baron (too many going to seed and thus won't store) and sturon which are looking fine but under threat of rust which has jumped from the garlic to the Egyptian...
Poplar. I am lucky to have a number of unworked seasoned planks. They are easy to work and the "green" tinge that runs through them makes for very interesting pieces. Still can't find a use for the amount I have though.

The red deer are all starting to move. Their cover (the wheat fields) have all been cut and they are very visible, even later into the day. The morning fogs are lingering later though. Definite signs of autumn here too.
Possibly, I'm no expert but have had a few whiter than expected ones also. They taste ok. Home grown carrots, to me at least, are one of the biggest "eye openers" for taste compared with shop bought. They even smell better!
They're going to seed. In my experience those going to seed either have no carrot worth speaking of or thee carrot has gone very woody in the centre. And in my case its due to overcrowding through a failure on my part to thin them out. I'd pull that one out, if its a big carrot the others should...
