We're thinking onions today because we pulled the first few dozen to start curing in the shade for market soon. We disagree with some of the below experts; with red onions we do bend them over to speed up top drying before harvesting. Interesting, today Emeril said he can't understand why Americans don't prefer red onions all the time since they do in Europe. Well, we do focus on Old World varieties for several vegetables. And couldn't get better results in every way.

Have you ever let some of your onions bolt, and then planted the seed the next year? I don't mind buying sets--in this part of the country, they're available year round in the supermarkets. But I don't want to be restricted to planting from someone else's work.
