It’s not so much the variety of onion that makes a Vidalia mild and sweet, it’s the soil conditions. You could plant the very same onion in different soil and have it come out tasting much stronger.

Correct the soil does make a difference not only in the onions but in watermelons , if ever in Louisiana and you see a Water Town melon ,its the sweetest you'll ever have.
