This is my first year with Egyptian walking onions. I love the way these things work. Never ending onions!
-
Very cool - I planted a couple last year and they came up this Spring and are really fascinating.... going to hold off eating then this year and just plant the sets (is that what they are called?) to up the number for next year... the way they grow a whole other plant almost off the top though is really interesting

I was just checking mine out this morning. I put them in two years ago and I think I'll get a (small) harvest this year. Woot!
-
I'm actually not even certain how to harvest. I guess the greens can be used as green onions, but do you eat the sets at the top? Or is there a bulb in the ground? (something something meme...but now I'm too afraid to ask)

Fun times. I miss growing them. Maybe we'll get out of this darned suburb next year...
