BTW the seller told me they are Vidalia.
When do you harvest yours ?

They were planted Oct 8 and they've been ready to harvest for a few weeks but I'm waiting as long as I can and using when needed. They all bolted earlier, sending up seed stalks so they won't store well. To try to reduce the size of the flower stalk origin down in the onion, I try to cut the flower stalks as soon as I discover them.
Heavy sigh.... still trying to decide whether or not to grow more this fall. I swore I wouldn't but as usual I'm rethinking that since this year's were the nicest ones I've grown. That figures.
