We've recently been fascinated bu several types of onions and their relatives. We all know the white, yellow and red ones at the grocery store, but have you considered the other possibilities?

For you onion lovers out there we now have bareroot onion sets available. Both are short day onions, requiring only 110 days to mature, and can be stored up to 2 months once properly cured. Each bundle contains 60 sets.
$4.25 per bundle

TEXAS SUPERSWEET A lovely sweet yellow-skinned onion with white flesh that gets sweeter as it matures. This medium to softball size onion is so sweet you can eat it raw!

SOUTHERN BELLE A gorgeous ruby red onion with a sweet flavor to match.

CATAWISSA The biggest of the walking onions at 2 1/2 inches wide- easy to stuff with cream cheese for a delicious appetizer. These are known to set top-sets on top of top-sets (blooms from the blooms) and the extra top-sets are excellent pickled or thrown into salads. What a great plant! Zones 5-10.

HERITAGE SWEET Like Catawissa but even more prolific, creating even more scallions per bulb. Tops can be harvested from late summer to the next spring. Usually dormant in the late summer heat when they can be harvested as pearl onions for cooking, pickling or adding to your martini. $8.99 1 Quart (1ft).

We have the Tohono O'odham (Pima) indians of southern Arizona and Mexico to thank for this light purple shallot-like onion with copper skin. Produces 20-30 strong-flavored cloves per bulb. Planted and grown like garlic, it produces offshoots for most of the year. Requires full sun, but uses 1/3 less water than other onions. $9.99 1 gal (1ft).

Chinese (or garlic) chives have been cultivated for over 2000 years. Tai Jiu is a variety selected for flowers and the stalks and buds are tender and garlicky. Flower stalks are harvested from late spring to fall, while leaves can be picked until hard frost. Useful in stir frys, salads or for general seasoning. $9.99 1 gal (1ft).

LANCELOT LEEK This variety with its long 12-14 inch white stalks and blue-green flags are as beautiful as they are tasty. Makes great soup on a cold winter day! Mature in 100 days. 30 in a bundle. $5.99 per bundle
