Nice work on the raised beds!
I personally like the red onions better than other types.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but there are 2 types of onion sets, long day and short day onions. Long day onions do better in the northern latitudes where the summer daylight hours are longer, and short day onions do better in the southern latitudes.

I was not aware of the two different types, thanks for that info! I usually prefer to start my own from seed indoors, but the indoor seedlings didn't do well this year.
Yeah, I've struggled with starting seeds in the past. I never quite know what the problem is when I have poor germination rates.
At least onion sets are easy to find at the stores.
Our seed starts usually do well, but every season there is ONE thing that just doesn't cooperate. This year it was onions. Last year it was green peppers, the year before it was zucchini (of all things!). If I was smarter, I'd start a betting pool among the local gardeners, and use some of that money to purchase whatever vegetable didn't sprout that year!
Yeah, you never know which type of seed is going to be that one that doesn't cooperate...
