This is my first year growing these onions. They are everything I've read about them. They have a mild and very sweet flavor and crisp textured flesh. Their size varies here from about 2½ inches to around three inches maximum as shown in my photo above. These are considered intermediate day onions and therefore do not grow large in this zone. However, their other qualities make up for any lack of size. These can be stored for about two months.
