This year I've gone quite crazy with my alliums, growing leeks, bulbing onions, green

onions, and maybe 20 different types of garlic, so I've certainly gone a little wild.

We're getting into just the onions, just onions that you can grow year after year, which

is kind of unusual, onions are typically a biennial, so how do you grow a perennial?

Well, there are certainly some that you can grow, so the first one is somewhat common,

I think you may have heard of it before, it's the Egyptian walking onion, it's kind of

just a weird plant.

What happens for them to walk, because they can't walk, is that they spread in just a

weird way.

So in spring, you're going to get stocks emerging from the foliage, and then there's these

tiny little bulbs at the top of the stock, it'll get so heavy that it falls, those bulbs

send roots into the soil, and then it'll send up another one, and it'll do the same

thing, so it can kind of move itself laterally along the surface of the ground, and there

are great onions, you can eat them as greens, you can actually just take the bulbs and

either eat those, or you can pickle those, a lot of different options there, but it's

a great one that you can grow.

Next up, you've got potato onions, so these ones are kind of just multipliers, they'll

just keep on dividing, so bulbs that divide and make more bulbs, and then you just leave

some of those in, and that's basically a reset on the next season, so it's not technically

the same exact plant, but you will just keep on propagating that for the next season,

so check out the potato onion.

Next you have chives, chives are really easy guys, I mean chives, chives are some of
