Well on my onion search I purchased some seeds for next fall.
What I got was.
Texas Grano, Short day.
Red Burgundy, Short day.
Sweet Spanish Yellow Utah Jumbo, Long day I read on garden web that they got huge at the same latitude as Mexico city but refused to seed.
Granex Yellow, Short day.
I got 4 packages of seeds each.
This will be my first time growing onions from seeds and am looking forward to the experience.
I also have a nice plot of space in the back that would be perfect to grow even more onions and shallots.
It was a garden at one time and I let it lay fallow for a few years.
The soil is unbelievably rich and would be a great place for onions.
The plan is to set my tiller on shallow cultivate and just skim off the top.
Skip a path and do it again.
Plant my onions put out the drip lines and mulch.
The radishes I grew there were very good and mild so the onions should be the same.
