I am growing them for the bulbs, and I despise weeding but I’ll deal with it for good garlic. I only planted one line of cloves in front of the house, so it shouldn’t be bad.
Those are some cool plants, I’ll have to look up that onion. Is the flavor and texture similar to any of the common onions available in a grocery store? I have grown regular yellow onions, grew up with a very large garden that provided nearly everything we ate. My mother loves odd and heirloom plants, I personally do not garden, though now that I live alone. I just don’t have the time for it.
I’ve been doing some reading on those onions this evening, and it looks like it may be too cold here for them. What growing zone do you reside in, if I may ask? I am in zone 6 or 7, pretty much on the line.
I didn't ask a rather important question: what do you do with the tops? As in, how do you eat them? Like a replacement for chives, or something else? And do you eat them dried, or only fresh?
Thank you. You are definitely in a much warmer climate than we are, as I write this it is 9° outside.
I feel for you that was us yesterday right now it’s 18 here.
It’s supposed to be that cold in your neighborhood, around here we don’t see many days that cold, and not usually this early in the year.
Our average temp right now is 40 I don’t know what I did wrong but I do feel for you guys.
I used them fresh, but cut them on an extreme bias to make longer slivers. Just like chives.
Our average is about the same, I figured you would be colder than that.
Thank you, I will have to try that in the spring when I have something to work with.
Yeah it definitely reminded me that I missed some of my pre winter maintenance.
That makes sense. We used Gibbs, worked well for us too.
