Running onions have different names. The cool thing about them is that they are not generating flowers on top but 3 to five little onions. So they sow themselves permanently. The same time they split themselves as well.
Observing them right now.
Where is you #gardening located ?
Wow that’s really cool how they function! All year long?
As I already said, my garden is located in germany 😊 I grew up on a farm with animals, agrar, forests and ponds, but gardening was not one of my interests as a child, more animals :D
But today we just have chickens and ducks left, my grandma has a big gardening passion and supported me through the year, very grateful! 💚
The place I am using was not used for the past 10 years so I had a nutritious soil and the plants loved it! Expect the potatoes, they got destroyed by potatoe bugs!
Good luck with your onions!🧅
If you need any help with Nostr, I am here to support you 😊
So far i cannot recomend for now.
I have split them into two trials.
Outside in the beds and another trial in our polytunnel.
I don't really see much difference for now except that maybe the ones in the tunnel split themselves a bit more into two to three onion bulbs.
So far i could not reproduce seedbulbs on top of them. My guess is that the seedbulbs are coming in the second year, so in the next season. I will try to give them a season over winter in the tunnel.
So far i also didn't taste them. Keeping them like my eyes. The damn seedbulbs are really expensive. You pay at least an euro per little bulb.
So i try to reproduce them as good as possible for now.
When i'm done with them, i can send you some to the south. But guess this will take some time.
Yes, i like sharing seeds as well. Free seeds are what we gardeners need.
Maybe we should add a #seedstr to #gardening ?
