Life Without Onions...NO WAY

This week end, we noticed that a 50 lb. bag of plain dried yellow onions that we use to buy for under $7.00 at the grocery outlet store 2 years ago, was now selling for over $30.00 at the same store! Well, that got our attention because we use onions ALL the time...everyday in fact. Onions are so wonderful with all types of beans, in soups, eggs, rice, and pasta dishes. etc...just think about it. We're eating more of these easy on our pocketbook foods now...as living costs rise and wages don't seem to be. 'What would we do without onions?'

I looked today online for yellow onion seeds or sets for our garden, we want heirloom onions too for saving for next year...most places were 'out-of-stock'...'WHAT?' Well, It is spring and some places were closed on Mondays. BUT, I love onions and garlic in my cooking and 'could not imagine' life without onions...cool. So, kept looking.
If you love onions or need more garden seeds etc. TERRORITAL SEEDS in Oregon have done a fine job for us before and have onions still..Go here if you need garden seeds. http://www.territorialseed.com/ Jan
