These are either potato onions - a very old heirloom variety that multiplies in the ground, like a shallot - or shallots. I messed up the labeling. I'm hoping for potato onions but some have a red color that is probably shallot.
I had them in a paper bag in the pantry so they would stay dry. I decoded to plant them now. It's mild. They should even overwinter OK.
I planted then in a row near the end of what will be the chili pepper bed. They wont take much room there and won't interfere with the peppers. Even with rain and mud, it's not bad planting in a raised bed with a nice foot path. :-)
