And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I grew up on a farm 40 miles from there and used to sell the Bland's hay for Joy Bland's horse. Bland Farms is the largest producer of Vidalia onions. They have expanded to Peru and Australia for climates and soil similar to Vidalia. The secret to having Vidalia's most of the year is to buy the tennis to baseball sized onions. Store them in airtight containers in a fridge that is set to 35-37 degrees. They retain their moisture where they go dormant at that temperature and will keep for 9 to 10 months. If you want the big onions get them late spring and consume them by mid June or they will rot. Chopped onions freeze well. FYI: the winter Peruvian sweet onion is grown by Vidalia's Bland Farms in a climate and soil similar to Vidalia in Peru. The Australian Vidalia doesn't make it out of the pacific rim due to its popularity.
Ah yes. The Visalia Onion
