Question: Im about to plant a bunch of red onion sets, they are about an inch or so in diameter, What I want to do is trim the green tops as they grow for salads etc. will this kill the onion underground or if I leave a little of the green will it continue to grow
thanks in advance

Generally they will continue to grow and produce tops but don't cut them
to short, leave a few inches and the plant will get the sunlight it needs.

See if you can find some scallion starts or "bunching" onions. When the
get big enough pull them all and plant a few back to grow more. I've got
some we've been growing for about 25 years now and they're still producing.

I pull them, wash them, cut off the roots, chop them, put on a cookie
sheet and put in freezer for at least an hour and then vacuum bag them
for later use. If you're in a temperate climate you can just pull a few
when you need them.
