WANTED: Onion Seeds to Start in Winter (Good in Zone 6)

RedSun (Zone 6, NJ)

I'd like to start onion seeds in winter to prepare for spring planting. Before I order some seeds from seed companies, I'd like to check if I can share some seeds form fellow GWers.

I'm not particularly picky with the types of onions. As long as they grow well in Z6B zone. Be long day or short day. Prefer to have a couple of varieties, for taste, storage, etc.

You can check my list to see if anything interests you.

RedSun - I just planted the remainder of my Texas 1015 seeds from last year. I was not particularly happy with these onions last year; they were very tasty but not large and did not store well. I also planted leeks (King Richard) but I want to find Musselburgh leek seeds.

Well, starting onion seeds in January is in my calendar. So the asking. But onion is just a low priority. I could just go to store and buy a pack. Not particularly picky. But I think it is worth asking.

The GW trading is just a hit and miss. A lot of folks list things for trade, but rarely available. Even the seeds....
