I love onions, especially sweet onions. They are harvested once a year, despite being biennial.
The onion is most frequently a biennial or a perennial plant, but is usually treated as an annual and harvested in its first growing season.

Onion
The onion ("Allium cepa" L., from Latin "cepa" "onion"), also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable that is the most widely cultivated species of the genus "Allium". Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. This genus also contains several other species variously referred to as onions and cultivated for food, such as the Japanese bunching onion ("Allium fistulosum"), the tree onion ("A." ×"proliferum"), and the Canada onion ("Allium canadense"). The name "wild onion" is applied to a number of "Allium" species, but "A. cepa" is exclusively known from cultivation.
Susan Christie
Susan Christie is an American singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is best known for a minor hit folk song “I Love Onions” (1966) and for her critically acclaimed solo psychedelic-folk album "Paint A Lady" (2006). Early career  A gifted child, Susan Christie met music producer and director John Hill while the two were involved in a junior-high play. Most of her future music was produced in collaboration with Hill, with whom she was also romantically involved. Following high school, the two studied together at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. During this time, they came to the attention of Cameo-Parkway record producer Dave Appell, which inspired both Christie and Hill to begin seriously pursuing music as a career.
Hot dog variations
This is a listing of regional variations on the hot dog. Different areas of the world have local variations on the type of meat used, condiments, and means of preparation, which are enumerated below. Hot dogs are very popular throughout the United States. Many regional variations exist. Hot dogs made with caribou meat added are sold as "reindeer dogs" throughout Alaska. The Sonoran hot dog is popular in Tucson, Phoenix, and elsewhere in southern Arizona, as well as in the neighboring Mexican state of Sonora. It is a hot dog wrapped in mesquite-smoked bacon, cooked on a grill or on a griddle or comal, then topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, mustard and jalapeño salsa or sauce, and served on a bolillo roll, often with a side of fresh-roasted chili pepper.
Cocktail onion
A cocktail onion is usually a pearl onion pickled in a brine with small amounts of turmeric and paprika. Pearl onions are naturally sweet, which makes them an excellent pairing with many cocktails. Other sweet onions such as the crystal wax, also known as the white Bermuda, are also sometimes used. In many cases, white varieties of these sweet onions are used, since many consumers expect cocktail onions to be white. However, yellow or red sweet onions may be used as well. In northern California cuisine some haute bars may use sliced red onion pickled in vinegar. Some recipes also call for the onions to be packed in white vermouth as well as vinegar.
Vidalia, Georgia
Vidalia ( or ) is a city located primarily in Toombs County, Georgia, United States. The city also extends very slightly into Montgomery County. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 10,473. Vidalia is the principal city of the Vidalia Micropolitan Statistical Area, a micropolitan area that covers Montgomery and Toombs Counties, and had a combined population of 36,346 at the 2010 census. The town was incorporated on January 1, 1890. It is the largest city in Toombs County, but it is not the county seat. Although a Georgia website suggests the town may have been named "via dalia" ("road of dahlias"), it may have been named — like Vidalia, Louisiana — in honor of Don José Vidal, a Spanish aristocrat.
Sweet onion
A sweet onion is a variety of onion that is not pungent. Their mildness is attributable to their low sulfur content and high water content when compared to other onion varieties. United States sweet onions originated in several places during the early twentieth century. Vidalia onions were first grown near Vidalia, Georgia, in the early 1930s. Today the name refers to onions grown in a 20-county production region in the state of Georgia as defined by both Georgia state statute and by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. South Texas also acquired what is known as the 1015 onion in the early 1980s by Dr. Leonard Pike, a horticulture professor at Texas A&M University, Texas.
Walla Walla, Washington
Walla Walla is the largest city in and the county seat of Walla Walla County, Washington, United States. The population of the city itself was 31,731 at the 2010 census. The population of Walla Walla and its two suburbs, the town of College Place and unincorporated "East Walla Walla," is about 45,000. Walla Walla is in the southeastern region of Washington, approximately four-and-a-half hours away by car from Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, and only thirteen miles north of the Oregon border. Recorded history in this state begins with the establishment of Fort Nez Perce in 1818 by the North West Company to trade with the Walla Walla people and other local Native American groups.

Really? Where are sweet onions usually grown?

I'm not certain. It is of the Allium species though and they call it a "wild onion".
The name "wild onion" is applied to a number of "Allium" species, but "A. cepa" is exclusively known from cultivation.

The name "wild onion" is applied to a number of "Allium" species, but "A. cepa" is exclusively known from cultivation.
Garlic
Garlic (scientific name Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, "Allium". Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and "Chinese onion". Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran, and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used both as a food flavoring and as a traditional medicine. "Allium sativum" is a bulbous plant. It grows up to 1.2 m (4 ft) in height. Its hardiness is USDA Zone 8. It produces hermaphrodite flowers. It is pollinated by bees and other insects.
Allium tricoccum
Allium tricoccum (commonly known as ramp, ramps, spring onion, ramson, wild leek, wood leek, and wild garlic) is a North American species of wild onion widespread across eastern Canada and the eastern United States. Many of the English names are also used for other "Allium" species, particularly the similar "Allium ursinum" which is native to Europe and Asia. "Allium tricoccum" is a bulb-forming perennial with broad, smooth, light green leaves, often with deep purple or burgundy tints on the lower stems, and a scallion-like stalk and bulb. Both the white lower leaf stalks and the broad green leaves are edible.
Allium
Allium is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants that includes hundreds of species, including the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot, leek, and chives. The generic name "Allium" is the Latin word for garlic, and the type species for the genus is "Allium sativum" which means "cultivated garlic". Linnaeus first described the genus "Allium" in 1753. Some sources refer to Greek αλεω (aleo, to avoid) by reason of the smell of garlic. Various "Allium" have been cultivated from the earliest times, and about a dozen species are economically important as crops, or garden vegetables, and an increasing number of species are important as ornamental plants.
Wild onion dinner
Wild Onion dinners are social gatherings held in the spring by various Native American tribes in Oklahoma, especially southeastern tribes. The meals focus on the spring appearance of wild onion, a food that was familiar to most of the tribes east of the Mississippi. "Wild onion" refers to several plant species but most commonly "Allium vineale" or "Allium canadense". "Allium tricoccum" or ramps are a customary food in the eastern United States but not Oklahoma. Families often gather wild onions together from February to April. The plants can be found even in urban areas. Typically the wild onions are fried with scrambled eggs.
Stromatinia cepivora
Stromatinia cepivora is a fungus in the division Ascomycota. It is the teleomorph of Sclerotium cepivorum, the cause of white rot in onions, garlic, and leeks. The infective sclerotia remain viable in the soil for many years and are stimulated to germinate by the presence of a susceptible crop. "Sclerotium cepivorum" is the asexual reproductive form of "Stromatinia cepivora" and is a plant pathogen, causing white rot in "Allium" species, particularly onions, leeks, and garlic. On a worldwide basis, white rot is probably the most serious threat to "Allium" crop production of any disease. This is a soil borne fungus and affects susceptible crops planted in infected soil containing sclerotia.
Allium canadense
Allium canadense, also known as Canada onion, Canadian garlic, wild garlic, meadow garlic and wild onion is a perennial plant native to eastern North America from Texas to Florida to New Brunswick to Montana. The species is also cultivated in other regions as an ornamental and as a garden culinary herb. The plant is also reportedly naturalized in Cuba. "Allium canadense" has an edible bulb covered with a dense skin of brown fibers and tastes like an onion. The plant also has strong, onion-like, odor. Crow garlic ("Allium vineale") is similar, but it has a strong garlic taste. The narrow, grass-like leaves originate near the base of the stem, which is topped by a dome-like cluster of star-shaped, pink or white flowers.
