Through a fortunate coincidence, I discovered that a friend
of mine, (Daniel Etchelecou) had a garden in which were growing the fabled Walking Egyptian Onions! He
gave me a few of the onion sets (those little onions that grow at the end of
the onion stalk) for me to take home and plant.
After I got home, I decided to ‘start’ some new onions by
planting some of the sets into potting mix in a six cell starter tray. I
figured that once these go to growing, I could transplant them out to select
sites in my garden. Walking onions are also known as winter onions, a fact that
attests to how hardy the plant is. I plan to update this post every now and
then as time goes by.
Update: Almost a year has gone by and the small plants that were placed in a raised bed in my backyard are now growing in fine style as of March 30, 2013!
