also remember that there are areas where the Roscoff red onion is grown, it is not by chance that it likes this region, because very early, even if it is not very hot, it will not no longer very cold and therefore the risk of vernalization is very reduced and this early enough to ensure good development
We must not forget that before there were regional vegetables and we were already exporting and as it was vital for the producer he ensured with vegetables adapted to the territory, now we are talking about short circuits except that there the consumer wants " bio "and the diversity of supermarkets 10 minutes from his home, in the south easy for tomatoes, more difficult for root vegetables which will have to be watered or certain leaf vegetables which will have to be sprinkled to lower the temperature for avoid the rise to seeds, and conversely in the North it will be necessary to protect the tomatoes, and sometimes shelter certain vegetables from the rain
to convince yourself of this, you shouldn't open a gardening book but a cookbook and take a look at regional recipes, In the North it's leek quiche, not tomato tian
therefore believing that any vegetable can be successful anywhere is illusory, sometimes it is necessary to help or adapt the cultivation technique, this year red onions planted late not too much seedling compared to last year, but not a large production due to lack of heat, a temporary box installed in the rows would have had a very positive effect, on the contrary a variety of shallots to be planted late, planted too early, has emerged well with temperatures too high for the start of spring was fine but as it did not last they did not develop any further, again the temporary chest would have been of some help
