We use seeds, plants and sets here on Johnny's farm to produce onions; however at home i prefer to use plants. My patience with weeding tiny onion plants is at best short and I prefer the size and ease of use that plants afford.

First time visiting your blog, and it is informative and entertaining. Being a Mainer, it is great to see a Maine company, having a good success rate, and helping others. Am really looking forward to your 2009 paper catalog!
Thank you!

I'm a fan of Johnny's and just wanted say HI!

Good idea about checking my birdhouses, though I only have 3. I too expanded my garden this year. And I had a bumper crops of beets. Lutz (big!) and Chiogga (sweet!).

I was interested to read you used onion plants. I tried to grow onions from seeds this year but was not successful. My set grew OK. Do you prefer onion plants to sets?
