Hi dfw1942 and
I tried an interesting onion this year called "Candy" onions. I like how they taste. They are quite nice and firm and are supposed to keep well. I guess I'll have to see how that goes. In the past I have raised "Walla Walla" onions and they were very big and sweet, but not good keepers. Vidalia onions are nice too, but don't do too well up in my area. You may know this already, but the onion is not a root, so they do well with extra nitrogen if you want bigger ones. Good luck and keep us informed.
