Growing onions in the garden doesn’t just mean for cooking though I do love to cook with onion and garlic for that matter. At least the smell of onions doesn’t seep out of your skin like garlic does. But I digress…
One of the things that got me interested in growing onions in the first place were the green onions that come up in my flower garden every spring. They’re in bloom right now and have been for several weeks with a beautiful purple ball of fluff. They’ll be gone soon but I got some pictures because I think they’re really beautiful and I’m happy to have them as ornamental flowers.
I don’t know if these were originally cultivated or whether they were wild onion plants to start. They’ve been in my garden ever since I moved in and look like they’ve been here a while.
