tried one bunch of sterling to see how it would do in eastern MA this year. Planted in late April, very wet cool June and July. Sterling did very poorly. Plants stayed healthy, but 90% ended 1-in diameter.

I live in central Iowa and planted Sterling in April and they looked great all year. The bulb size is 4"-5" and are starting to dry down. We had good rainfall all summer and did not have to water. I'm hoping the dry down goes well and am excited to see how well they store.

Just brought the harvest in. Sterling has been a good performer this year (very wet year). Most are nice size (approximately 3"). Very happy with my plants.

In my zone 5 area I was very pleased with the size of these onions (Sterling)from this years fall harvest BUT.....having it listed as a storage onion is a joke!!! I grew Copra and Red Zeppelin also and as I checked to see the condition of all three onion varities in my basement this morning,over 50% of the Sterling bulbs were sprouting new growth. I couldn't believe it as the other two varities were just fine. Very disappointed to say the least with Sterling onions. Sturgeon, Wi

I and a friend who combines his order with mine had the same problem as Ken. We both store all our onions in a cool, dry place at temps of a constant 40-45 which would seem to be ideal. I also store Ailsa, which not being a storage type,has kept very well...I am still using Ailsa's that I harvested Aug 10th that are in good cond. although about 1/2 of them have begun to sprout... which is ok for a non-storage variety in March ! I have just started using the 1st editions, which are basically ALL in fine, usable condition(would rate them a 5 )
