: When i was a little girl, the old man down the road use to grow the biggest onions in the world. I dont know what they were called or have i seen them since, anywhere.They would be bigger than any spring onion you usually see now adays. Their stalks where tall and the onion it self was large and sweet, and at the end of the season, they would get a big seed at the end of the stalk.If anyone would know what they were called, or where i could get these please , please, let me know thanks Linda Lou.

Hi Linda Lou,

You might want to ask these folks.

This is probably an heirloom plant, so you might want to look here too.
