I have ordered Park onions for a couple of years and always had success. However, having found the Short Day sampler out of stock two years running, I learned to START PLANNING EARLY—and what a valuable lesson that was! I succeeded in ordering the Short Day sampler this year as well as a big order of seeds. I tilled my garden and prepared my beds in time to receive my onion sets in early March. After following the instructions to unpack the sets until ready to plant, I waited until the ideal day. I planted them on March 12, 2020 just as news of what would later become a pandemic was reaching the Southern US. I am so grateful to have planned my garden and ordered early. What was already in the works as already become my family's victory garden. We have reaped immense reassurance from our purchases already.
