Rossa di Milano is an Italian heirloom onion that was grown for centuries in Milan. Later it traveled other parts of Europe and wherever migrating families went around the world. This variety is loved for its flavor which is rich and sweet with a pungent aroma, and also because the bulbs store well. Chefs love the flavor of this variety. The beautiful bulbs are flattened on top, and have angular shoulders, making them look almost heart shaped. Grown in latitudes 35 to 50 degrees, they can be considered long to intermediate day onions. Plant in all but the most southern and northern parts of the US. 105 days.

King Richard leek is a selection that is designed to produce over a long season. The white shank is often over 12 inches. The mild flavor of leeks is great for soups, salads, pasta, risotto, stuffing and many dishes. You should start leeks in soil amended with organic material. You can transplant seedlings closer together 2–3 inches for baby leeks and 8–9 inches apart for larger leeks. Transplant them in trenches after the last frost, when temperatures are 45 degrees or more. Fill in the soil around the leek to cover the white part of the stem. Or you can plant the transplant 6 inches in a hole (made by digger stick) with leaves above the ground, allowing the soil to fill in around the stem naturally. Harvest in late August for full size. 90 days.
