Thanks! I did try saving onion seeds one year, but I don't remember what variety they were. The resulting performance of the seeds was very underwhelming so I didn't continue in that direction. I'll look into growing some Newburg onions next year and perhaps try saving seeds again.

I think the you need at least 100 plants to save seed

I understand that would be best for preserving genetic diversity, but it probably doesn't matter in the short term.

I could save the seed from a few plants for a couple of generations and then get new seed from the professionals.

I do that all the time
