Courtesy of our friend, Chris Diggs, and straight from Walla Walla County, Washington. These are big, round onions with sweet, juicy flesh. Like other onions, they need consistently moist, well-drained soil. Regular fertilization recommended. Best grown in "the north". We'll see how they do in my southern garden. The starts were a bit banged up when they were delivered. I hope they'll bounce back quickly.
I planted two rows that I will encourage to grow to maturity, and one row in between that I will harvest as green, "spring onions."
Filling out that bed: a dense row of salad turnips down the middle, with spinach, lettuce, and arugula taking up the left side.
