I'll go with Oil Patch Sweets but there shouldn't be any tear jerkers. However that will all depend on soil and growing conditions. There is a Federal Marketing Order that to be called Genuine Walla Walla Sweets that they must be grown in a very limited area here in our valley.

Once outside that area the soil and growing conditions change and the onions aren't as sweet. They really are that sensitive to how they are grown.

Yours should be nice and mild and you should be able to judge from the Genuine Sweet Dry Onions that were grown here in the Federal restricted area that I'd sent you and that beautiful bride last year.

Even within the Federal area there are slightly different soils, rainfalls and other things that effect the onions. So since each grower raises his own seeds he has a unique strain. The same will be with yours and if you continue to plant your seeds and raise the onions then get seeds they will slowy adapt to your soil and growing conditions. This will effect how your onions will taste and how sweet they will be.

With all this said they should be a very mild onion.
