Is it too late for transplants there?
I've never grown them, just noticed it in the catalog as a short day storage onion, catalog says 6-7 months. |
I have grown the short day Creole types and the problem with them is the same as with most of the red short day onions. They are very inconsistent in producing decent sized bulbs. I grow about 4 or 5 different short day reds every year but rarely get good onions from them. I love the strong flavor but hate wasting so much garden space every year. I'm too old to change so I will probably keep right on trying them because every few years the reds do make okay and of course when that happens I don't have enough of them planted.
