im going to make a bed of them from the bulbils in late summer. i have so many i might as well put them to good use. ive just been letting the clumps fall and root where they may. i can freeze a bunch of them chopped up in the green stage to use in recipes. old timers used to salt them in mason jars but too much salt to remove for me.

I will probably do the same. Walking onions are new to me so I don’t know yet what my plans for them will be.

when left in clumps they grow but dont grow very big. i think separating them they will do much better. ive read that if you want big onions of any kind , just harvest some of the stalks off, it so im going to do that with these and see what happens.

I plan on just leaving them in the ground and using the greens and topsets. They say the topsets taste just like the bulb. They are new to me as well.

we have a small patch and so far we ate greens, some bulbs from the tops roasted, and one big guy I pulled up to find out. tastes like a dull white onion, not very big base but still edible and good if you need em

Everyone was right about Walking onions. You can mostly plant and forget. They all look healthy and a few already have bubils (4)on top. I counted and there are 10 more heading to the top. I’m guesstimating that each set will have 5-10 bulbs to increase my number of plants. Next year I should have enough to sample.
