Thanks....Do you know a website where I can find the bulbs? I've been looking but can't find any
Look for White Onion ‘sets’ or ‘Bunching Onion’ seeds.
You could probably use any onion ‘sets’ that you find, but I’m thinking they only form small bulbs like you want IF they are planted in the FALL and harvested the next spring. And that probably depends upon where you live, too, as far as having a mild enough winter.
Anyone else have experience growing these? I’ve only grown regular onions and leeks.
re: spring onions
I have a patch of what we call winter onions.
I transplanted a handful into my garden about ten years ago. They came out of a patch at my folks house.
That patch was started from a handful that came from a pre-1900 farmstead across the road from our farm. No telling where they came from before that.
They are my favorite garden plant because they require absolutely no care or attention. Stick a few in the dirt and they will be there forever as long as a few are allowed to go to seed every year. They make a bulb sort of thing on top that’s basically a ball of little tiny bulbs. When the top falls over the baby onions root where they land.
I’d be happy to share if you want a start of them.
