This was the best I could do this year and was open pollinated at a remote farm. We had very little rain and extreme heat and turned them almost red. This was one of my own seeds the 50.5 Schnicker. OTT was 54-36-26 = 116

Nice job Marty, That is a good lope especially considering the weather. It has been a bad year for lopes. I remember a few summers when I had some red ones, happens when its really! hot.

Oh westham, I introduced pumplobster as amelio from the first day on. I do not realy need giant onion seeds but would buy some, if we could buy the 50.5 Schnicker seeds.

Congrats Marty!
I weighed my biggest the other day, 47lbs grown on my 50.5
It would be nice to hear what others are weighing this year.
