| ====> My red candy were very disapointing they were very small compared to my regular candy so yopper i take it that they were so small you did not need to use the excavator to dig them? must be strange to put 4 onions in the wheel barrow all at once rather than just one at a time? ;^) how's the weather in the up, 3' or 4' of snow? :O i had 1.5" a week ago which is really early for snow. i had rotting problems with mars for a few years at all stages - growing in the garden, curing and in storage. the other 2 varieties had no problems those same years. i switched to red wing a couple of years ago and i've had no problems at all plus they store longer than mars did. i liked mars but i was losing too many onions to rotting. i also stopped growing ailsa craig exhibition because about about 15-20% would grow a double bulb. the doubles did not store well and would be prone to going bad. tom |
