| Scientific Name | Allium cepa; Allium fistulosum |
| Growing Days | 100-120 |
| Varieties We Grow | Red Burgundy; Texas Early Grande; Bunching |
| Growing Notes | Grow onions from seed (takes a long time!) to get the biggest results; starting from “sets” is easier though. “Sets” are small onion bulbs that are already one year old. |
| Battle of the Bugs | Onions do pretty well in the battle of the bugs. Apparently, the bugs don’t like the smell! |
| Fun Fact | There are “short day,” “intermediate,” and “long day” onions. The northern latitudes get to grow the long day onions since they need 14-16 hours of daylight to form bulbs. |
| Don’t Waste It! | Depending on the variety, eat them raw, steamed, roasted, or cooked just about any way. |
