First, let me admit I am a very casual onion gardner...just stick them in the ground with some bone meal and let 'em rip.

Last year I planted some little onions that were in the seed store early spring. They were a Georgia Sweet something or other. They grew to 2 or 3 inches across and were very good tasting. This year, did the same thing. About half of them got to about 2 inches across and were pretty hot tasting. The rest of them only got to about 1 inch across and are still sitting in my garden...guess I am waiting for a miracle.

Questions: what can I do to get sweeter onions? Can I save my little onions (which are pretty much sitting on top of the soil) and replant them when the weather gets a little cooler, or save and replant next spring?

I didn't do anything different this year from last, so don't know why the difference.

Thanks, Susan
