Thanks for your support in 2010!
2010 was one of the busiest years that we've ever had. A wet autumn delayed the plantings, and a hard freeze in January killed about 30% of the plants that were just coming up. We appreciate the patience y'all showed as our farm hands and customer service reps worked to fulfill your orders. Hopefully the weather will be kinder to us for the 2011 season. Finally, don't forget to send us photos of your latest crops for our gallery!
All About Onions
Selecting Onion Plant Varieties
The size of the onion bulb is dependent upon the number and size of the green leaves or tops at the time of bulbing. For each leaf, there will be a ring of onion. The larger the leaf, the larger the ring will be when the carbohydrates from the leaves are transferred to the rings of the bulb. The triggering of this transfer or bulbing is dependent upon daylength and temperature and not the size or age of the plants. When selecting your onion varieties, remember that the further north you are, the more hours of daylight you have during the summer. Read more
