Best Onions So Far

We picked our onions yesterday and were pleasantly surprised.  I usually end up with about 50% being rather small, around 1 - 2 inches, however this year I only had about a dozen or so that small.  Besides having a lot of nice onions, we had several that were the size of a baseball or bigger.

If we can continue growing onions of this size year over year, I will have to change the spacing in my square foot garden from 9 onions per sq.ft. to 5 per sq.ft.  I'm going to have to give credit to the weather for our harvest this year.  We have received steady rain and temperatures have been rather pleasant.  We are excited to see how the holland onions turn out.
