I acquired some Mill Creek Onion seed from Foothill Farm Seeds (Allium cepa seeds can be imported to Australia from the US without permit, but only from 'commercial' seed companies
All consignments of Allium seed must be imported from a commercial source (e.g. a seed company). An officer may determine this by examining the label and the accompanying documentation (e.g. commercial invoice).
Consignments of Allium seed imported from a non-commercial source (e.g. collected by a private individual) must be re-exported or destroyed at the importer's expense.
).
Phew, lucky I found Foothill Farms listed them! The only other supplier I could find was out of stock.
I sowed them a few days ago, and they are sprouting.
The friendly proprietor recommended a Fall planting. I've never had much luck with onions, apart from vegetatively propagated forms, so here goes.
I would post a pic, but we've all seen a little punnet of potting mix with a few tiny green bits poking out...
