short day onions in the north
 
I bought Pompei cipollini onion seed, not realizing that it is a short day variety recommended for the south. Since I've already started them, I wondered if somebody else has grown these north of the great Onion dividing line. :? If so, did you manage to get any kind of onion? :oops: What are my chances...?

Thank you so much! That is an excellent guide.
I'll know what kind of seed to get next year. And maybe I'll get some little picklers from my short day seeds this time, anyway.:)

I've always wondered if you could keep shoert day onions covered with something opaque for about 3 hours each morning if you could trick them into believing they had a shorter day and not bulb up.
