Egyptian Walking Onions

These are the coolest! I know I mentioned them before, but here is a picture of them. Their "walk" is when the top gets to the point where they bend all the way down to the ground. Like they're taking a step, I guess. You can see that a few have already started on their "walk".

I don't know how long they have been in this garden, but I'm definitly going to have to move some into a new spot.

Also visible are chives, peonies and some misc. ground cover.

Where Did They Come From?

While weeding the garden a few weeks ago, getting it ready for puting some early cool weather tolerent greens seeds, I noticed a bit of an unexpected surprise. 6 "volunteer" onions coming in. Since I have not put any onions in that area last year, some must have self seeded from the year before.

I believe that I did leave in a few that year to see what would happen so now I guess I will. I'll be curious to see how well the bulbs will develop (if they do), how they will taste. Well, as I said, I'll find out this year, and report back!

It should be interesting!
