Where to get non Monsanto ONION PLANTS from.

Maybe it's the soil where I was living until last year, but I've always done onions from seed. Put seeds in ground. Water. Wait. Eat onions. It really was not hard.... not even kinda.

I have never tried, but have read they are difficult, I'm not taking any chances. I did however purchase seed packets from fedco and will try my hand at them. I will order plants for a back up. If they all end up growing they won't go to waste. My sons love homemade french onion soup. I use LOTS of onions in a year.

I hope it is as easy as put seeds in ground, water, wait and eat onions That is how my small table onions work but I want the large softball sized ones this year.

Wow, I just ordered my onion plants from dixondale farms and I have to say that was the easiest ordering process I have ever had with ANY seed company. They didn't even charge me shipping and I got 15 dozen plants for under 27.00. Yippee!!

I had the same experience as you - placing the order was very easy and I received my order very quickly. Also, when the plants showed up, I found that I received WAY more than 60 plants per "bunch."

They are a great company, I plan to use them more often. I have to say that my order for seeds from Fedco was a day long affair. But dixondale farms was a breeze! I do like fedco too, the catalog gives a lot of great information, but the ordering process needs some tweeking.

here's something i found that might be of interest on different onion varieties and their background of where/when they were produced.

Wow! I can't believe how many different varieties of onions there are! Thanks for sharing this.

took me a little while of looking over that site, but there are other veggie varieties listed on there too!
