Mom called them Winter Onions. Got a start last year and they are doing well. They need to be weeded, but I’ve been concerned about disturbing the soil around them....Any ideas?

Get down on your hands and knees and weed away Miss Mama...

I guess it would depend on the weeds, how many how thick etc. Those onions will naturally form a clump which will just get bigger and bigger. My original clump is over 20 years old and I’ve never weeded it. If your soil is light and has good drainage they will grow like crazy. When I give away some I always tell people to put them in a place where they can go nuts and then your only job is to contain them.
