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.

I plant both my garlic and my multiplier onions in the Fall in
Michigan. I save my seed bulbs from year to year of course. Multiplier
onions will give you 3 to 6 new bulbs for each one you plant. They are
similar to shallots but bigger (on average, golf ball size, the seed
bulbs about twice as big), excellent flavor, good storage, a bit more
difficult to peel than regular onions. I bought my onions many years
ago from Territorial Seeds.


Thanks for the info. It's much appreciated. I'm not far from you. In
Southern Ontario.
