Thanks for a nice, succinct explanation of the differences between the different "day" types of onions. I haven't grown any type of onion other than the green bunching onions for quite a while, but now maybe I'll give the bulbs another chance.

I've done the same thing - growing bunching onions for awhile and in containers. Now I'm back with some of the bulb types and the walking onions. I'm hoping the weather will be good for them this year.

Well, thanks for informing me about the day length factor; - after reading your article I got so busy researching to find more about varieties for my zone that I forgot to click the little thumb!

Thanks, greene. I often do that myself.

Great info. I will pay more attention to the varieties of onion sets that I choose this year and maybe I will get some decent sized onions.

Thanks for commenting, Joanne. I hope you do find some that will grow well for you.
