Three generations of onions, all still connected and supporting each other – fascinating!

    I’m actually not even certain how to harvest. I guess the greens can be used as green onions, but do you eat the sets at the top? Or is there a bulb in the ground? (something something meme…but now I’m too afraid to ask)

      I believe the whole plant is edible, but I was planning on pulling the plant for the bulbs (which should be shallot sized) and re-planting the sets for next year.

          My wife made a salad tonight with a stalk used in place of scallions. I liked the flavor a lot. Tasted like scallions with the heat of strong garlic. I’m a fan. 😀
