San Joaquin Victory Gardens on Nostr: The picture about shows many hundreds of bulblets of the walking onion/tree onion ...
The picture about shows many hundreds of bulblets of the walking onion/tree onion harvested from the #homestead #garden this year. Every year I have this problem of abundance, lol, and my wife shakes her head when I try to plant more of these onions for the next gardening season.
My solution this year is to give out many bulblets to my biology/environmental science students and make this year's teaching theme more about the intricacies of food security. Though the onion tops are now dead from lack of water, the bulbs stay alive in the ground until the next season....because onions.
I love this plant. They grow fast, and are largely pest free (...damn gophers). They can substitute 1:1 for any other onion, but their taste is a bit spicy. The best way that I have found to eat a mass of these onions is by grilling them or laying them in a oven pan to bake with olive oil and salt.
The picture below shows the difference in size between the 2nd and 3rd bulblet set that a plant can throw off. Even though the bulblets are small, they quickly grow into full size plants.
