Green/Bunching Onions

[chrysanthemum]

Years ago I bought a pack of bunching onions, and the seeds were getting fairly old.  I planted several indoors late in the summer and transplanted them out.  I think they may have fallen victim to one of my diggers at that time, but I had very few left.  Back in mid October, I think, I scattered more seeds in that pot, but I never got germination.

Imagine my surprise when I went out after two days of not checking on my garden and found what appear to be green onion sprouts in that big pot.  I’m pretty sure it took six weeks, but I’m happy to see that they just might grow if we don’t get a freeze too soon (none in the forecast right now).




Those leaves on the soil are basil leaves that are starting to drop.

I just mistakenly winter sowed about 200 of these.  I mistook them for bulbing onions.

Those are some odd looking onion seedlings, usually they look like a solitary blade of grass. Maybe its because the seed is old.

I'm about to sow some of these, myself.

I know those were the onion seedlings because many still had the onion seed on top. They grew a bit but didn’t last through our fairly sudden and harsh freezes before Christmas. Thankfully a good number of the leeks did make it.

Being old, sure takes its toll, don't it?
