I planted some big valdia onions last April 19,( I recorded it) ,from
seed, they areSTILL 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?
