An Onion almost Like My Dad's!

I've ALWAYS had a garden...even when it was one row of green beans beside the sidewalk when we were in grad school at Washington State University!?! Over the years, I've been a great planter...but not such a good harvester - getting ready for my classes took a toll on the time spent in the fall. The garden is nowhere near perfect, but I am having so much more fun experimenting with different veggies. Onions generally don't do well in my garden, but for some reason, this year is a great one. Dad used to have onions that weighed 1.5 pounds and though this one was only 1 pound, I am THRILLED.
