Our Green Onion Patch
Three or 4 times a year we harvest and process our green onion patch usually from 4 to 6 sq foot of onions are all we need and we use alot. For us its a fun activity. Here is a report on February's crop. This is one thing that we haven't bought any of in years all from our garden. http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2015/03/rotating-our-green-onions-or-something.html

Re: Our Green Onion Patch
I don't know why your link did not highlight. I went to your web site, re-copied the address and posted here.

Re: Our Green Onion Patch
I am new to square foot gardening, this is my second year coming up. I planted some onion sets that I purchased somewhere but after planting them I just kind of forgot them. The bed has been abandoned over the winter. Maybe I should go back there and look and give it another chance.

Re: Our Green Onion Patch
Cappy - what a beautiful, bountiful harvest.
I love my green onions and have a small patch (12" x 18") in one of my boxes. It has been there for years. Like you I use them in almost every thing I cook. I usually just harvest the greens but sometimes pull the entire plant. When I do I stick the roots with a little bit of the white back in the soil. New plant.
BTW - they grow and I harvest year round.

Re: Our Green Onion Patch
My, My - learn something new every day - didn't realize that there is a particular onion that is what you all are calling spring onion or green onion. I thought that the green-topped onions in the store were just baby plants of the larger onions.
This is a particular species,isn't it ,Allium fistulosum, OK - so now I need to check out the seed displays in our stores or need to order some on-line because it sounds like something I want in my garden.
Thanks folks

Green onions
I posted this else where I think but I figured I'd share it here since its the season and all. We grow our green onions around 9 months out of the year The dorment time is now. In the next few days I will harvest them but instead of re planting the onion bulbs will summer in an onion sack in the closet and be replanted in early september. Here is a post about one full cycle. We havent bought them in many a year.

Re: Our Green Onion Patch
Well I aint no nerd thas for sure I only refer to these as green onions cause I thought thas what yall would know them as. To me and every one I know we call them shallots in cajun french guess thas why I was confused. Anyways what I did in that link Im gonna do tomorrow.
Re: Our Green Onion Patch
Hi Cappy,
Don't know why but I never thought of freezing onions. Always thought of them as a root cellar item, not too many of those down here. I tried some in the garden this year with OK results, nothing like you had.
I'll give it another try this fall.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Our Green Onion Patch
Cappy, The green onions in your blog is what I also call green onions. I started them from seed and they languished in a pot for months. A few days ago, I dumped the pot, gathered the poor things, separated them, gave their heads and feet a little trim and replanted them in replenished mix in the same pot. They have new shoots now. And, I don't even like green onions!
Re: Our Green Onion Patch
Hi Cappy,
Since we are basically the same zone what variety do you plant?
I would really like to do the same as you with a recurring onion harvest every year,
Thanks
Craig
