   Maybe in the future.   
      
   I planted four organic yellow onion bulbs from the   
   store.  I want to see what happens.  And I want   
   the seeds.   
      
   I also planted organic purple garlic from Trader Joe's.   
   It is better tasting than the bland, white stuff   
   from the regular supermarket.   I asked Trader   
   Joe's if they knew the strain, but the likelihood   
   of them answering me is very small.   
      
   I have been suspicious for a while that farmers   
   will not put up with the same bull s*** that   
   home gardeners put up with and their stuff will   
   actually germinate.  Home gardeners, especially   
   myself, always think the problem is theirs.   
   And with me, it usually is.   
      
   The green onions nubs I planted from the supermarket   
   are certainly thriving.  The seeds germinated too   
   and love my soil.   Your seed collecting instructions   
   worked marvelously.  I plan on the same thing with   
   the yhe yellow onions.  Bet the germinate.
