located
in georgia. of course famous for these sweet big onion's.

How to Grow Vidalia Onions

Uunfortunately you can't... that is unless you live in the special
Vidalia Georgia region.

The onions are actually your standard Yellow Granex variety that
you
can buy at your local garden center. The secret to the sweet
Vidalia
Onions is that they are grown in soil that can only be found in the
unique region of Vidalia Georgia. The soil has a very unique blend
of
nutrients that give the onions their sweetness.

Whatever there Mr. Garden Master, but if the ohio department of
agriculture, and the USDA says these ohio grown onions are Vidalias,
I'll believe them over you, they have more experiance and education
in
the field than you do.

Post a link then that shows where ohio agriculture calls them Vidalia
onions, they are simply yellow granex onions they are not vidalias.
Don't get all huffy and puffy when someone corrects you, take it like
a
man and either show you are right or accept you are wrong. sorry to
make
you feel so small.



Ok let me correct myself, Vidalias are gorn in GA fine, but it is a
spanish onion, as ar the Maui, and other variety, and those (spanish)are
grown everywhere, just like apples, granny smith apples are grown in
ohio, indiana, michigan, just like red Delicious are grown all over.

So you are correct "Vidalias" are only grown in the Vidalia area, but
spanish onions, which is what "Vidalias" are, are grown everywhere
including hawaii. And having been a chef for many years, I have worked
with every variety you can imagine, and have sampled them all, and the
ones Tracy grows here locally are just as good as the "Vidalias" .

Keith, you know he'll argue just for the sake of arguing. Most of us that
are sane here understand what you mean. You may as well let it go, and let
the troll beat his head against the bridge.


Hear Hear Keith, Let the troll pound sand...................
