Not bad! Haven't planned for either this year as his nibs doesn't like new pots (weird man) and I rarely have much success with onions.

Ours hasn't yet, but will keep checking. Got 10 Desiree seed potatoes there last year, and they were the best performing of any I bought. Our local has had fruit bushes (which I don't need), plus summer flowering bulbs (which I also don't need).
