Sweet onions have a very short storage life. The Vidalia onions from Georgia generally show up in the stores in April...I'm having a hard time finding sweet yellow onions in our area, but everything else seems to be well stocked.

Price increases that were insane though. Deli roast beef 17.95 lb.

Weird... must be important problems. We grow several bushels a year, so I'm rarely aware of store stocks, although I've noticed prices have gotten pretty crazy...The only onions that seem to be available are red onions.
I did a flash dash trip to Stop and Shop yesterday. A single Di Giorno pizza here was 10.49I just bought a Red Baron Supreme pizza for $4.79 at Target. The last time I bought one was in July, about 6 months ago. I got 3 for $10, or $3.33 each.
This is a staggering 50% increase in 6 months.
Dijornos were on sale for 2 for $11, or $5.50 each. They "used" to be $4 each last summer.
K also noticed MASSIVE food shortages in the City Target stor's meat section, several of which date bavk two weeks or more. Finally, what is there is mostly the Target store brand Good Fellow and of mediocre to poor quality.
2022 is going to be a year of cost increases, scarcity and poor quality.
Nope. It was the hand tossed four cheese variety.To be fair digirno etc now have several different pizzas with both multiple prices and toppings. The full cheese one was $5.50 × 2 $11.50. Your pizza likely had everything but a kitchen sink.Now that it is year's end the full impact of price increases is visible. 25% pretty much on everything, followed by a 50% add on for January/certainly by Valentines Day.
Easily a 100% price increase over the last 2 years or so.
I lived through the 1973 to 1983 inflation and my psych is kicking in for 2021/2022 biden inflation.

You can't beat Dixondale Onions for plants... I plant around 400 Walla Wallas and 1600 Copras... the Copra variety keeps for a year, in reasonable conditions!I'd like to do that, too, Shooter. Where do you get your plants or sets, espcially the walla walla.
Thank you! I'm going to try them this spring. I plant onions, but they have to be used quickly.You can't beat Dixondale Onions for plants... I plant around 400 Walla Wallas and 1600 Copras... the Copra variety keeps for a year, in reasonable conditions!

With two TB2K references, how could I go wrong?Dixondale farms, best ive ever found,
they say each bunch of onions contain 50 to 75 plants, but I have yet to find one with under 100 plants
Good luck growing them.With two TB2K references, how could I go wrong?
So, I'm going to give this a shot. In the past, I have bought onion sets at Southern States. Get this; one pound was 89 cents! That was quite a few sets, too. If Dixondale has 75+ plants per bunch, buying 150 plants is a lot...especially when the short day onions don't last very long. Guess it would be time to have some onion rings. "-) When there is a really big sweet onion slice on a grilled hamburger with a homegrown, just picked tomato and a soft, fresh bun...MMmmm.
Their site says ordering now until until April. I can't imagine getting plants now! I did plant some sets in September. Those have sprouted and will tolerate the cold so maybe these will, too. I'll have to ask them at Dixondale. Thanks for the info and link.
You can dehydrate those extra onions - I made green pea/lentil soup and the only thing in it that was not dehydrated was the leftover ham. Onions, carrots, green beans, celery...... oh, frozen hash brown cubes too.With two TB2K references, how could I go wrong?

We inherited a mama, daddy and egg peacock when we bought our acreage...... Daughter's boyfriends dog got in the pen and male got out, but mama came back to sit on her egg. Male came by every night screeching for his mate from the trees across the road. Never could convince him to come into the yard and baby died, so we gave her to a peacock man who had several, as she was lonely.Peacocks - GRRR! Neighbor in MO had one that kept coming onto my property, raping setting guinea hens, and eating the eggs as they pipped. I asked her several times to keep the SOB on her own place. He came over one too many times, and was met with my .22. I drug the SOB to the back forty for the coyotes. Owner came by a day or two later, asking if I'd seen her peacock. I said, "No, I haven't seen him for a few days!" I think she really knew what happened, and I wasn't saying.
First time I ever heard a peacock scream, I thought someone was torturing a cat!
Lol...me too. I got to a post about Biden shutting everything down for 100 days and I was a bit startled for a minute.Maybe this thread should be locked? I was half way down the page, before I realized it was last year's thread.
