We have the same onions Augie. Our patch is about 25 years old. Technically they are called Egyptian walking onions. Their roots are long and go deep. We are in west Michigan. I still plant a long row of green onions but the Egyptians are a nice treat. When they get older and bigger they are almost like young leeks. Try a few tossed in some oil, salt and pepper and grilled. I harvest the biggest seed bulbs on top and peel and use them like shallots.

This is what mine look like. They're on the smallish side like scallions, but they will develop a bit of a bulb if they're not crowded. I expect that you're correct about them being a variety of egyptian walking onion.
