I cannot wait to try more varieties next growing season!

I have a question about pinetree seed store.. Do they ever carry candy onion seeds since I love the sweet varieties? Also what is a red and white onion you would recommend to me besides candy onions..TIA
Your Granex onions did OK considering they are a SHORT DAY onion more suitable for Southern growers. You need to grow LONG DAY onion varieties in the North if you want bigger onions. Vidalia are SHORT DAY onions. Wala Wala are LONG DAY onions.
Candy onion is a good Day-Neutral hybrid that will do well in the North.
