The local grocery was selling onion sets for $.33 a pound, I got a handful and it came out to 3 cents. Just put them in the ground. Last year the onions from my moms garden were 10 times than the ones at the store, hopefully these will turn out the same way.

All they had at the store was yellow and white. I could used a hand full of reds. and now that you mention it, mom has a direct connect to someone who gets her cow shit.

Planted half lb last Oct and they survived a real bastard winter. They are ready to start pulling. Took no special precautions. Time to plant again.....................
Snippy pulled a bunck today and set out 80 puny little ripoff pieces of shit. Time to go back to the old guy that sells them in paper bags... These were store bought thangs in a plastic bag from Holland.

The variety popular around the GPNW is the Walla Walla sweet onion starts. I've done it the hard way many years by planting seed in August and letting them over winter. If your winter was textbook, results can be decent. But I found the starts bought in the spring at the Farmers Co-op worked great also. Only thing is the sweet onion is not a good keeper. You may end up with a 100+ onions at harvest and a hard time using them up before they go bad. The yellow and red onions tend to store for longer periods of time. Starts for those varieties may not be available and they need some serious summer to do well. Can't win the lotto if you don't buy a ticket. Plant whatever and see how it does.
