Default Storing and harvesting onions

I missed harvesting a bulb last year and so all the cloves sent up
shoots, tightly packed together. I thought I'd leave them and see what
happened. Whilst the bulbs are small and haven't split into cloves,
they are bigger than I expected.

I'm using them as green garlic - the bulb and the fleshy part of the
stalk - and they are absolutely fantastic. Green garlic has a much
fresher, spicier and pungent taste compared to when dried.

And its nice not having to peel tough dry skin off
