RE: Dehydrating Scallions from the Garden. #WelcomeToMyGarden 1/2018
Those look like bunching/green onions (a.k.a. scallions), not chives. Close enough though as far as flavor goes.

That might be what they actually are! I bought them at the store last winter and planted them after using for a recipe-- couldn't remember exactly which one it was- they are big and old... they keep going thru all seasons as long as covered when a freeze comes.
Yep, I’d say almost definitely bunching onion then. Chives are rarely harvested and sold as a whole plant.
Good to know! These are so easy to grow- do you have them on your homestead?
I have both bunching onion and garlic chives. For some reason I could never get my common (onion) chives to germinate.
So cool! It's been so neat to watch you move out there and start doing this... Y'all get the "Awesome Award!"I corrected the title and updated in the post as to them being Scallions. They have become part of the family. I wonder how big they'll get and how many years they'll live? I guess we'll see!
They’ll eventually flower if you let them. The flowers are actually edible too.
Yes- They had some little white flowers at one point... Maybe I cut them? I can't remember. Well- I'll keep 'em around and care for them as long as they want to be here. Very thankful to them.
