MADE IN USA 
Southport White Globe Onion (120 days)
25-30 SEEDS
First listed by Charles Johnson in 1906 as being grown in the U.S., Southport white globe is also know as "Silver Ball" and "White Rocca".

Southport Onion produces medium size white globe shaped onions. They are a firm and pungent onion great for cooking imparting a nice strong onion flavor to your favorite recipes.

This onion has a handsome globe-shaped bulb. It grows to a large size with pure white skin and flesh of mild flavor. Seedsman Thomas Griswold once wrote that this was the “best white onion for market,” and Southport is still one of the best white keepers available today.

A standard white processing onion and great for farmers market. Very good for home gardens and market growers. The young onions can be pulled up and used as scallions (65 days).

Yummy recipe below...

MARINATED SLOW ROASTED ONIONS

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary 
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • pinch red pepper flakes 
  • 4 large white globe onions

Roasting

  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary 
Instructions

Blend marinade ingredients in small bowl and pour into a baking dish that will hold all 8 onion halves. I use 8x8" baking pan or round 12" baking stone (pictured) depending on size of onion.

  • Trim the end of onions and cut horizontal (leaving skin on) and place wide side down in marinade. 

  • Marinate overnight covered in refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Flip the onions over in the marinade, and lay on the flat bottom of each side. 

  • Top each onion with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and remaining teaspoon of rosemary. 

  • Roast uncovered in oven for 1 hour or until golden brown, basting once or twice during roasting. 

  • Remove from heat, spoon reduced sauce over and sprinkle with parsley or more fresh chopped rosemary. Remove outer skins before eating and serve.

Notes

Trims ends off onions, slice in half horizontally, keeping the skin on to hold shape and protect the outside as it later roasts.

I keep the skin on to hold the onion in one piece while roasting, just discard the pouter, dried skin before eating.

INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
  
a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I planted some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 in the summer of 2017. They did great! Germination rates were in the 90% and above range...these seeds had been sitting in a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME!

At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties. 

WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated  and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes ? Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy.  

WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don't stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.
