Probably not as big as yours, but still they did quite well. At least the Alicia Craig onions did. The others still have to bulb up more. But last year they didn't start falling until August, so they have a month.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-69386540699748917212012-07-03T00:37:11.244-07:002012-07-03T00:37:11.244-07:00Wow-impressive!
