Positive	TBGDN	On Jul 31, 2008, TBGDN from Macy, IN (Zone 5b) wrote: This is a perennial onion event in my garden, and I couldn't do without it. It is a mild tasting onion, the flesh is crisp, and adds a zesty flavor in fresh salads. It is also a nice addition when chopped and sprinkled over bean soup and chili, and perfect when sliced onto home grilled burgers. It also adds a tangy flavor to hot dogs with mustard. This crop was planted early so there was adequate rainfall contributing to larger bulbs. I harvested nine onions on September 1, 2008 with an individual weight of 1lb.+; however, most were well under that weight.
