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.

Texas Legend Short-Day Onion Plants grow into sweet, mild, yellow globe onions for fresh meals and everyday cooking. Each package contains 50 heirloom onion plants for planting, not seeds or harvested bulbs. Give them a well-prepared garden bed and look forward to slicing, roasting and sautéing your own onion harvest.

Texas Legend is a distinct variety, not another name for Texas 1015Y. Its yellow bulbs offer plenty of kitchen possibilities: thin slices for sandwiches, chopped onion for salads and tender wedges for roasting. Gentle cooking softens the texture and brings a mellow sweetness to beans, soups and vegetable dishes.

Plan your onion patch before the plants arrive. A sunny position, loose soil and convenient access for watering and weeding make tending the crop easier. Starting with young plants skips the seed-starting stage, but the harvest still depends on matching the variety to local day-length conditions and planting at an appropriate time.

As a short-day onion, Texas Legend should be planted according to regional onion guidance. The supplied variety information gives approximately 105 days from transplanting and potential bulbs up to 6 inches under favorable conditions. Treat these as planning estimates, not promised results. Planting date, weather, spacing and care influence maturity and bulb size.

Why Choose Texas Legend Onion Plants?

  • 50 Plants per Package: Begin with young transplants rather than sowing seed.
  • Sweet Yellow Bulbs: Enjoy mild flavor in fresh dishes and cooked meals.
  • Globe-Shaped Harvest: Rounded bulbs are convenient for slicing, dicing and cutting into wedges.
  • Short-Day Variety: Match your planting schedule to local conditions for good bulb development.
  • Kitchen Flexibility: Use your harvest in salads, soups, roasted sides and caramelized toppings.

Planting Tips for Success

  • Timing: Follow local extension guidance for short-day onions and plant promptly after arrival.
  • Sun and Soil: Choose a sunny site with loose, fertile, well-drained soil.
  • Spacing: Space plants approximately 4–6 inches apart, leaving room between rows for tending.
  • Water: Keep moisture even during active growth without waterlogging roots.
  • Feeding: Fertilize according to soil needs and label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen as bulbs swell.
  • Care and Support: Weed gently around shallow roots. Avoid piling soil over developing bulbs. Staking is generally unnecessary.
  • Harvest: Judge readiness as tops naturally fall and begin drying. Use plant development rather than the calendar alone.
  • Curing: Cure harvested bulbs in a dry, shaded, airy place. Store only sound, properly cured bulbs in a cool, dry, ventilated location and inspect regularly.

Thyme-Roasted Texas Legend Onion Wedges

A savory-sweet side made with mature harvested bulbs, not the young plants supplied for planting. Serves 4. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 35–45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 large harvested Texas Legend onion bulbs, about 1½ pounds total
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or ⅓ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, optional

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Peel onions and trim stem ends. Trim the root ends lightly, keeping enough base to hold the layers together.
  2. Cut each onion through the root into 6–8 wedges. Toss gently with olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper.
  3. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, turn carefully and roast another 15–25 minutes until tender and browned at the edges. Smaller wedges may finish sooner.
  4. Transfer to a platter, drizzle with optional lemon juice and serve warm.

Options: Use rosemary instead of thyme or add a pinch of smoked paprika. Serve with beans, roasted vegetables or grilled chicken.

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