Hi all... Hope your weekend is going well... I have an onion question... As many of you know, I have grown red, white, and yellow onions for years and years... I always grow them from sets that I purchase at the local farm store... The catalog seed companies don't ship them early enough for me to get them in the round and grown before our county fair, so I get them locally.. This year the store had sets for the large, round sweet onions... It didn't give the variety but they look to be Vidalia or something very similar...
As usual, my red, white and yellow onions are nice and tall by now, but the big sweet onions are much smaller and growing slowly... It seems that I recall reading somewhere (years ago) that there are different categories of onions, like northern, southern, or long day vs. short day onions... Can anybody fill me in on this...??? I'm starting to wonder if these will work properly in my location... Thanks. Dave
