i tried them once. planted them in the fall, got a modest harvest the next year, then they just went away the second year. they didn't winter over well at all outside. three to four feet of snow on the ground for mulch during the winter didn't seem to work for them. if i try growing potato onions again, i'll try spring planting from stored bulbs in the house downstairs where it can be in the 40s during the winter.

for me, catawissa walking onions are a no brainer. they keep coming back year after year.
