Why do all the stores you buy gardening supplies from carry garlic for
fall planting but not onions?

If they are any good, nurseries will stock things like onion sets and
seed potatoes only when it is the optimum time for planting them in
their locale. In Southern California, for example, if you plant onions
now you will only get green onion results. If you want bulb onions you
have to wait till November to plant. Best thing is to find a good
nursery and ask them. -aem


If you check my sig you will see I spend 1/2 the year in Ontario and 1/2
in S. Texas. So November is when I want to plant. But a little early is
ok as we've already planted our garlic. I've checked 3 nurseries as well
as numerous garden sections in stores. thanks.
