The first catalog order is done. Since we have been pleased with the onions grown last year, we simply repeated the order for this year. The variety Red Zeppelin is pictured above. Red onions that keep are a first for us. Their colorful contribution to winter meals seems to make the meal more pleasant. If there is a downside to this variety, we have yet to discover it.
The copra onions are almost gone. They are a definite favorite. They are so uniform and such a nice size, that when you want a large onion it's just natural to reach for a copra. We used to grow these from seed, but we had such great results with plants ordered directly from Dixondale Farms in Texas that we have made the change. There is a wealth of information on growing onions in their catalog. I'm happy now! I can check ordering the onions off my to do list.

Becky .. I'm not a veggie gardener but wow ! those red onions look great ! And placing the first order is exciting girl !! Enjoy : )
I'll be growing copra for the first time this year. It sound like such a perfect onion, lots of sweetness and yet it stores.
Placing that first seed order is like a hint of a fresh, spring breeze. :) Love your header photo!
