My little patch of bunching onions is done. A few of them had started to send up seed heads so I went ahead and pulled the whole area. My youngest is holding one bunch that grew from one little set. I didn't know until now why they were called bunching onions. Attachments:   |

Now that's what I call onions! Did you taste one?  lol...don't eat it raw, trust me.

We have been using them in almost everything that we cook since we pulled them all. They are delicious! I do eat the green parts raw, but not the white. |

ooops, glad you knew what I was talking about...especially after I just noticed I missed the "eat" part.  They look good!

They look just like the scallions that my father loves to eat raw- with a little salt

don't know if these are the exact type of onion but I had a friend whose backyard was overrun with these onions, they grew like grass and where impossible to get rid of. |

I had something similar. Perhaps it was the same thing. They called them "multiplying onions." My husband did NOT like them, so I never planted any more. I had a couple of nice harvests, froze them, and used them all year in cooking, but since hubby protested, I quit with them. |

Wow, I haven't ever had onions that spread like that. When we pull ours they are done. Maybe that is something like the 'walking onions'. I have read of those. They make baby 'sets' at their tops, then when the green lays over all of those 'sets' take root. I don't think that would work for me even though we use onions all of the time. |

We have them in our neighborhood. They are wild onions or chives. Well you can use them like chives. I've actually gone out and pulled some and cooked with them before. They taste pretty good. |
