Spring onion seedlings are starting to peel out! Planted them a few days ago. The weather has been so ideal for germination! #grownfromseed #springonion

Did you know that if you plant a spring onion and leave it to grow unhindered for a few months (maybe half a year), it turns into a giant leek-like creature and even will put out a flower....!!! #springonion #homegrownamalgamation

You should be able to overwinter it. Keep using the green tops as garnish in your cooking and salads!!

Spring onions are super easy to grow back.. So I always plant them. This fella though, I let grow (mostly) uncut since last Dec or so. It's getting pretty fat now lol.. People often mistake it for a leek. #springonion
