"I recently planted the Ferry, Morse red burgundy onion seeds 1. 4 g and the planting process was very straightforward. The seeds were easy to work with and the instructions on the packet were clear which made getting them started in the garden simple. I'm excited to see how they develop since red burgundy onions are known for their deep color and mild flavor. Looking forward to watching them grow over the coming weeks."
