Onions!

DonDuck · June 7, 2019

I've grown Texas 1015 yellow onions for many years with excellent results. This year, my vendor only had one bunch of 1015 seedlings left when I went in, but he had many cases of a variety which became available last year named Texas Legend. The vendor said all comments from people who grew them last year, report they are much better than the 1015. I bought the single bunch of 1015 and ten bunches of the Texas Legend onions.

Last years growers were right. The Legend onions were much larger, ready for harvest two weeks earlier, very sweet, very rare bolting and supposedly can be stored much longer. Many were large enough for one slice to cover a hamburger bun. The percentage of jumbo onions was much higher.

I harvested the jumbo onions two weeks ago, the mediums, last week; and under two inches today to prevent sun scald.
