Here in this area of Texas, onion sets will be in stores in a week or two. I've been thinking of that for months now. We are going to plant around 135 feet of onions this year in rows. The most we have planted in years past was 90 feet.

I don't count the companion plant onions we plant with the tomato plants. We buy those in bulb form because they keep for so long before having to plant them. You can plant them a few weeks to a month before setting out tomatoes here. They don't get really large, but they help keep bugs away. It is also nice having smaller onions around for meals for two.
