Short day onions do better in the winter.

I'm a zone 6B. TNDemo May 2012 #5

Quick research finds that Hybrid Corpas are long day. :) also excellent for your temp zone. Javaman May 2012 #7

The seeds are cheap. Plant every month, harvest what grows. Same with radishes and lettuce. HopeHoops May 2012 #4
