It does seem to have been a good year for onions. Must be all the heat and rain.

My ones are bigger this year than the giant ones we were given to try a couple of years ago. Was not impressed with their flavour either

Just hope they last over winter because there is one hellova lot of them.

Mine are lousy, but the catawissa had onion fly, and I suspect it's that.
