| Interesting bit #1; For years I have clipped of a few green onion roots and buried them in the back of some remote border for the flowers. Quite a variety of old bulbs are found under the soil; unfit to eat. ''Green'' onions at the grocer must be whatever the produce man has available. Last winter I tossed a handful of green onion roots in a new raised bed that was being filled with new dirt. They were about a foot deep but green leaves poked through this spring. Today we dug some out and they look young leeks. Long straight white stems bigger than a man's thumb. And quite tasty. |

| Interesting tidbit #2; The so called ''sweet onions'' like Walla Walla and Vidalia are delicious just to eat even when they are thumb size to golf ball size. |
