I've finally actually read the label ::) on some onion sets that the heritage seed library sent me and they're potato onions, which multiply underground. Has anyone tried these?
I had never heard of these. But on reading up They sound good ,,Cheers .Jim..
Never heard of them either...but sound great! :)
Apparently now is the time to plant them, for harvesting as small spanish-type onions in midsummer. If they work (never certain where I'm concerned ::)) perhaps I can offer them around for others to try?
Are these what we call Welsh onions? Seem very similar tho "Welsh" onions I think only grow to about 1.5" dia - very useful anyway.
No, I originally thought they were Welsh onions, but they're these:

It's not the same as egyptian onions, either - they seem to be grown in the states for greens.
Oh well, can only give it a try :D
