I planted some big valdia onions last fall (last part of Aug.) ,from
seed, they are still in the ground, the bulbs are about 3" in dia. the
tops are very tall and still green.
I am not sure what the package said on the grow time for this onion,
becuz it long since weathered away from the post I had it tacked to.
I was under the impression that the tops will fall over and turn brown
when the onions are ready for harvest.
should that take (8 months) ? all my books say 80-120 days. and the
package did say to plant in Aug for a winter crop. I think I missed that
season , now its a summer crop.
I did pull one the other day to cook with some cabbage , it was a good
onion.
Any sugestions? keep in mind , I love big juicey onions , thats why
I`m letting them grow, the store has bigger ones than what mine are now.
I guess what I need to know is will they be ok to let grow?
