Plant Showcase #1

So I have decided to start a new thing with my blog, every day im going to pick a plant, maybe 2 if im ambitious, and dedicate a blog to each of them and break down what type of plant, why i like it and plant it and then tips on planting and maintaining it. For my first one i picked one of my favourite's... the walking onion, or you may call it tree onion or egyptian walking onion etc

This onions one of my favourites cause its perennial and it multiples with ease. I started with 10 plants and i got over 500 now that i get 1000s of bulbs off every year to plant and grow to eat or sell... or start and sell to others as starter plants. they have a taste like shallot but stronger. they have really strong greens great for soup. The first year they wont get big enough to produce bulbs but second year they will make bulbs, each plant makes a bulb with 5 - 15 bulbets on top versus most onions make flowers and seeds not bulbs. and then those bulbs you can either plant and grow to eat, or throw back in the ground and expand your patch, or just leave them on the plant and the stalks will fall over once the bulbs are heavy enough and just expand on their own which is where the name walking onion was establish. Their super easy to grow, after the first year and theyve been well establish, you can forget to water them for a month and their fine lol ive forgot my one patch in the back alley numerous times over the years. They dont like being super wet they like well drained soil.
