 I have also grown without regard to timing this past summer an onion called
 candy with no long/short day requirements.  i have not harvested any yet,
but
 they are forming nice but smaller bulbs -- thus far about 2 to 3 inches,  but
 they are still growing,  tho I think they are almost at max size.

This year, I grew onions for the first time.   I grew Candy because they were
advertised as not being a long or short day variety and I thought that gave an
amateur like me a better chance.  Anyway, they grew beautifully and ended up
about 3-4" in diameter.  

The only problem I had was that some were damaged by root magots.  Any ideas
on how to deter these?  I'd prefer to not use chemicals if possible.

Thanks
