Hello, Mopar

Yep, we *love* Vadallia onions. They may well be the same onion; I don't
know. However, they have to be grown in a very specific area. There are
some farmers mad as heck that live adjacent to a farm that grows
Vadallias, but if they grow 'em, they can't sell them as Vadallias as it
wasn't grown in the "approved" area (read - control output to keep price
higher).

Oh great..the same people that fix the utility prices are gouging me
on my onions now. What's next?

They are really good. I've found sometimes they can be a bit strong
(likely growing conditions), but usually they are very mild. I love
cutting a *big* slab of Vadallia to put on a hamburg. Yummy!

I've had a few bitter ones, but mostly when they are old. .29 cents
a pound for really big sweet ones right now..killer. It won't last
long tho. I've made onion/tomato sandwiches with them, no meat...great!

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.

Plus if you notice the site you listed, it's a COMMERCIAL site, they
have interest in making people think they are the only source of
Vidalias.

That would be the same as saying a Rose isn't a Rose unless it is raised
in Rose Texas (or where ever there is a town named rose).

So pardon me if I don't fall for your commercial BS
