I have yellow multipliers that I replant each year. The biggiest get about 2 inches and I tend to use those for cooking as they are easiest to peel and cut.
However that leaves me constantly planting little bulbs. Some of those are from the same cluster as the large bulbs but most are simply a cluster of ones that did not get so big.
Am I creating an ever smaller variety by constantly planting the smaller bulb? If I should be planting only the bigger bulbs that leaves (whine whine) a lot more work and a much smaller volume of onions for the kitchen.

You've been doing it right. According to various sources that I've read, you are supposed to replant the smaller bulbs.

I kinda of thought that since each bulb of a multiplier should be a clone, it should be ok. But then I thought it's obvious some plants do better than one right next to it, so I wondered. Anyway thanks for the reassurance.
