I guess I know how to grow onions

 Here's this year's onion crop, from one row about ten feet long.  Again, as last year, they grew to enormous sizes!  I think the secrets are:  buy onion PLANTS (not sets) and bring in compost.  I also spray with Miracle Grow a few times during the summer.  That one I'm touching is about the size of a small melon.  Do you think that's the size they want in a recipe when it says "one large onion?"

Oh Wow! I'm jealous. Ours were pretty teensy. But I'm excited to try again next year!

No, I think that is about 3 times as big as "one large onion" :) Looks like you guys better have french onion soup! :)
