tom,

I do grow Redwing for the longer storage ability, but I really like Red Zeppelin too, which is larger and more like the italian red onions I grew up with. There is one that looks similar in the Seeds of Change catalog I may have to try, and they also have Copra, Candy, and Redwing so I can make it one-stop shopping.I'll check out Pinetree too.

But, I still don't understand why popular onion varieties disappear so quickly. Red Zeppelin hasn't been around that long if I remember right.
