10 Drought-Tolerant Vegetables to Grow in a Water-Saving Garden

10. Franzisco Onion -- Big Bulbs, Low Water

Who knew onions could be so tough? Franzisco onions are built for hot, dry weather and grow big, juicy bulbs with minimal water. Their thick leaves help them hold in moisture like champs. Once they're in the ground, they pretty much take care of themselves.

Harvest trick: When the tops flop over, they're done. Let them dry in the sun for a few days before storing.
