I go to GW on occasion, it's so slow and those darned pop ups really turn me off. The Allium forum is one that I visit along with hot peppers, tomatoes and organic gardening. Wow, the OG fanatics over there are something else. But, back to topic...if there is enough interest I'd say Yes.

I've been growing garlic in my small plot for nearly 20 years, have been growing onion sets nearly as long. Last year I started bunching onions from seed and they were the best tasting scallions I ever had. This year,
thanks to Tom, I'm growing Copra and Red Wing onions. I'm hooked, if I can grow a years supply I'll be very happy.

Another allium I've grown off and on, because of lack of space, are shallots, they are great in any dish but very expensive to buy.

With so many varieties, hardneck, softneck, long day, short day, walking onion, bunching onion.............I say yep, a separate forum would come in handy. Just my cent and a half.
