Last time they were growing onion here was 11 yrs ago. Lol
To me growing onions is more technical than say tomatoes. First you have to gete the right kind .. Short day..longday ..intermediate.. Then how to plant them .. From seeds .. seedlings ...sets.. If you plant sets gotta be careful when you plant. Otherwise you will end up having themng them bolt and go to seed. Starting from seeds is a long process. My choice is to get seedlings (like bunched scallions) sold at the nurseries sometime in January down. Here. Now skip growing let's go to harvesting and curing..like I said it is more technical. Though onion family plant are handling friendly but growing them is not. That's my experience. Growing garlic is much easier than onions.

I agree with you. Growing Garlic is easier. But at least we are trying. I am going to try onions again this year, too.
