West Coast Seeds packets are small and lightweight. However, carrier restrictions prevent us from shipping via standard lettermail. All online orders ship with tracked service to ensure reliable delivery. Because of this, shipping may be higher than expected when ordering only a few seed packets. Adding seeds to a larger order usually does not increase the overall shipping cost.
Sow Ailsa Craig sweet onion seeds for huge, straw-yellow globes up to 20cm (8") in diameter! Firm, with mild, sweet flesh, Ailsa has fairly good short-term storage potential, certainly better than Walla Walla. Ailsa Craig Spanish onions are fine textured, and excellent for salads and sandwiches. It is tolerant of cold weather, so it can be ready for harvest before some other Spanish storage onions. Ailsa Craig was not a person, but rather a place. It is a stony island in the Firth of Clyde in Scotland. While the onion is not from there, it would certainly grow there, as it is adapted for growing between the 38th and 60th parallels, and that makes it an even better onion for northern growers.
