The awesome thing about growing onions is that (as far as I can tell) bugs don't like them and they survive any kind of weather. These are some of the green onions that I planted in spring 08. We only used about half the row and the rest we left in all winter. They are still growing (that's why they have flowers..heh heh). They're about 5 inches taller than Laney. We needed a few for our dinner last night and I had to laugh because they look so ridiculously huge! This is a gardener's dream come true....a veggie that stays in the garden with little to no effort from me and is ready to pick whenever you need it. Why can't tomatoes be like this?
