| Grown from seed, these took a long time to produce, but once they did they were attractive and quite tasty. Continued to harvest until late fall. Excellent in soups and salads, requiring very little peeling to use. |

| I"ve grown this one from seed each of the last two summers. First off, germination was excellent - simply planted in a 50-50 mix of vermiculite and Pro-Mix. I had my doubts when planting the whispy little plants in the garden, but both last summer (more rainy and cooler than normal for Ohio), and this summer (much hotter/drier than normal), they did great. Not only is the "white" part quite tasty without being overly strong, but the "green" tops are large, strong and flawless. The tops are very good for chopping to add to salads/potatoes/soups, and thick enough to do ver well in the dehydrator when chopped and dried. One caution/reminder - they do NOT form larger bulbs if left in the garden, and just get a bit woody, so be sure to stagger planting and pick 'em in their prime. |
