95 days. Hybrid. 3-4", sweet. Stores 3-5 mo.
These have become our go-to red onions. They're very mild and almost slightly sweet, good sized, and excellent keepers.
2022: Nice starts. Cold May so they're not getting a lot bigger yet. Cold wet spring, the weeds grew like weeds will. The onions were all really small this year. We left a bunch of them in the garage in a trug and kind of forgot about them. It's March and I was cleaning out the garage. They are firm and fresh, and we had a really cold winter. I'm thinking it's the best place to store them if we're at home.
2021: They aren't getting weeded, so they aren't doing well
2020: We got a lot, but they didn't have much size to them this year.
2019: Small starts this year, but they did OK until the stinking gophers started eating them! We got a few small ones.
2018: Did well
2017: We got a bumper crop this year! We took a bunch south with us, but they got bitter after a while. Probably too warm in the RV down in Mexico.
2016: These are it!
2015: Really good onions!
2014: These are great! Big onions, tasty, keep for months.
