When I was a kid near DeFuniak Springs, FL, wild onions were fairly common, especially in areas which had been cut over such as large lawns, highway right of way etc. The bulbs were only a little larger than a marble with the largest ones probably smaller than a ping pong ball.
They tasted about the same ass the ones you bought in stores except it took a lot of them. The stalks were also pretty good when cooked. The closer to the bulb, the better the stalks.
I now live only around 20 miles from there but I don’t see any around here.
In my yard are pear trees, a bunch of pecan trees, Japanese persimmons (very tasty), figs, plums, apples, and very heavy producing wild grapes (scuppernongs). There are also a couple of satsuma bushes which produce nearly year round.
With just a few other things I think I could live off what my yard produces. The pecan trees only make about every other year but there are over a dozen of them. I think I would like to plant some of those Egyptian onions if they are so prolific.
I sent you a Freepmail with the link to Egyptian Walking Onions.
ever bit into a green persimmon?
