As of 9th of November, we have gotten several inches of rain so the harvest will be delayed by 1 week. We hope to be shipping around the 26th of November which is Thanksgiving. We will wait until the 30th to ship now. Things do not always go as planned when depending on the weather to harvest crops. But we are so thankful for the rain.

PREORDER: Expected to begin shipping around November 18, 2026.

Grow Texas 1015Y Short-Day Onions for mild, sweet flavor and golden-yellow bulbs that earn their place in everyday cooking. Each package contains 50 onion plants for planting, not seeds, giving you young transplants to establish in your garden. From crisp slices on a sandwich to a skillet of slowly caramelized onions, this variety offers plenty of ways to enjoy a homegrown harvest.

The appeal of Texas 1015Y starts in the kitchen. Slice a freshly harvested bulb for burgers, chop it into salads or sauté it as the foundation for beans, soups and sauces. Its mild, sweet character works well in dishes where onion is a main ingredient rather than simply a background seasoning. Cook it gently to soften the texture or use higher heat to brown the edges of wedges for a savory side.

These are living onion plants, so plan your garden space before they arrive. Prepare a sunny bed with loose, well-drained soil and make room to tend the plants without disturbing their shallow roots. Planting transplants lets you begin with established young plants rather than managing a seed-starting stage. Bulb development still depends on choosing suitable planting dates, giving plants enough space and maintaining steady care throughout the growing season.

Texas 1015Y is a short-day onion. Match it to your region's onion-growing recommendations rather than choosing by hardiness zone alone. Planting at an appropriate time gives the plants an opportunity to establish before bulb development advances. Day length, weather and planting date influence the crop, so judge progress by the plants in your own garden instead of relying on a guaranteed harvest date or bulb size.

A package of 50 plants gives you the flexibility to plan a dedicated onion patch or divide the planting among suitable garden beds. Leave enough room for bulbs to develop, keep competing weeds under control and check moisture regularly. At harvest, use sound bulbs for fresh meals or cure them properly for later use. Set aside damaged bulbs for prompt kitchen use rather than mixing them into your stored harvest.

Why Choose Texas 1015Y Onion Plants?

• 50 Plants per Package: Start your onion patch with young transplants rather than sowing seed.
• Mild, Sweet Flavor: Harvest yellow onions for fresh eating and everyday cooking.
• Short-Day Variety: Suited to appropriate Southern planting schedules. Match planting time and day length to local conditions.
• Versatile Harvest: Use sliced bulbs in sandwiches, sauté chopped onions for sauces or slowly caramelize them for a savory topping.

Planting Tips for Success

• Timing: Follow local extension guidance for short-day onion transplants. Plant promptly after arrival.
• Sun and Soil: Choose a sunny location with loose, fertile, well-drained soil.
• Spacing: Space plants approximately 4–6 inches apart, with room between rows for tending.
• Water: Maintain even moisture during active growth without waterlogging roots.
• Feeding: Fertilize according to soil needs and label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen as bulbs swell.
• Care: Weed gently around shallow roots and avoid piling soil over developing bulbs. Staking is generally unnecessary.
• Harvest: Judge readiness as tops naturally fall and begin drying. Planting date and growing conditions affect maturity; do not use Texas Legend's harvest timing for this variety.
• Curing and Storage: Cure bulbs in a dry, shaded, airy location. Store sound, properly cured bulbs in a cool, dry, ventilated place and inspect regularly.

Skillet-Caramelized Texas 1015Y Onions

Turn your harvested sweet onions into a rich, golden topping for burgers, sandwiches or roasted vegetables. Use mature harvested bulbs, not the young plants supplied for planting.

Serves: 4 as a topping. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 35–50 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 large harvested Texas 1015Y onion bulbs, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2–4 tablespoons water, as needed

Directions

1. Heat olive oil and butter in a wide skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Add sliced onions and salt. Stir to coat, then spread into an even layer.
3. Cook gently for 35–50 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until soft and deeply golden. Reduce heat if the onions darken too quickly.
4. Add water a tablespoon at a time whenever browned bits collect on the pan. Stir to loosen them, keeping the onions from scorching.
5. Season with pepper and serve warm.

Options: Replace butter with an additional tablespoon of olive oil for a dairy-free version.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F.
