All the onion family needs constant cultivation - they just don't take weed pressure.We grow several types of onions and their relatives; our goal is to have at least one member of that family in our weekly CSA box.
We start with the over wintered shallots, then green onions, then green shallots, then large juicy Walla Walla sweet onions, then red onions, then yellow storage onions. And add into the mix garlic and their scapes.
Scapes magically shoot up and we cut them for a preview to the garlic season. They are great in stir fry or salads. The seed head is so good pickled - really worth the effort!
