   Spoke with the greenhouse guy about this when I picked up   
   my tomato plants.  When I told him I could not grow an onion   
   from seed for my life, he told "and you never will."  I asked   
   him why, considering the farmers around here grew onions for   
   seeds and are actually famous for it.  He told me that it is   
   a problem with the soil around here and that the commercial   
   farmers are using special chemicals to get around the problem.   
      
   Fortunately the 100 bulbs for $3.00 from Wally World grow   
   just fine.
