For almost a century, my family has grown Jug onions. They are a longish
medium sized onion with a reddish purple tint and usually very hot. When
one plants the large onion, sets can be harvested. When one plants sets,
onions are harvested. They are very good winter keepers. Last year the
job of growing the onions came down to my sister and me and we both lost
all we had due to the drought. Does anyone know of any similar onion?
