How do you all grow onions? From sets (bulbs), plants or started from seed at home or in the garden?
Our local implement store sells the bulbs for $1/lb, so I usually plant scads that way. This last year, I got some plants that produced pretty big onions.
A farmer's market friend sold me enormous onions that are still storing perfectly in my cool cellar. These things are so huge that 1 onion makes a 6-person pot of French onion soup. He orders from dixondalefarms.com, which seems to have a great setup, free shipping and lots of information on varieties, organized according to day length.
Thought I'd pass this on to any other onion aficionados I'm not sure I'm able to even begin a meal that doesn't start with onions and garlic!
