What is a good overwinter onion?

i've had some small bundles of transplants too which need to be teased apart and then replanted (not too fond of this approach). Virtually always die on me when I have tried it. I just plant the whole bunch, see who grow the tallest and use a pair of scissors to cut off the small ones. Make me feel like a murderer. Okay, only a little. Who the hell ever told plant suppliers that "bare root" was a viable way to ship plants !!! ??? How hard it it to ship a dirt plug? |

How hard it it to ship a dirt plug? bare root could be a weight/shipping thing to save $ (less weight). also less likely to transport pests/diseases. but they should be wrapped in something to keep some moisture in there. songbird |
