    It is. And I just ordered those seeds as well. But having the same doubts if they will grow in Valencia. If they do, Lola will be very happy. She goes every Sunday to the market in Valencia selling her stuff.

    You've got to know your onions before you talk about Brussels Sprouts.

    Well, this might be also a way as my wife still lives in Switzerland. Depends if the price is ok including the bb. 1 kilo onion in Switzerland about 150 Peso. Directly from a farmer maybe cheaper. But now we try in Valencia.

    Here's hoping not too many are lured into trying to ship illegal substances in a balikbayan box. If customs starts finding too much of these in them boxes it might spoil the balikbayan party for everyone else also. On the other hand, onions would definitely spoil during a 6-8 week trip in a hot container, so I'd think those who'd try would end up with a stinky mess.
