Default Scallions (green onions) question

T wrote:

Hi All,

I am putting together my layout for next year's garden.

I am thinking of growing Scallions (green onions) with
the intent of harvesting off the greens for salads.

Can I just harvest the tops?

Will the tops grow back?

Can I just leave the small white bottom in the ground
and will they grow back back year after year?

Do I plant them from seeds or bulbs?

And, do they over winter?


Many thanks,

I like a variety I got from Kitazawa seeds: Evergreen
White Nebuka Japanese bunching onions.

I've got a pot with a batch of these I planted at least
six years ago that keeps coming back. Let a few go to
seed each year too.

Tasty too.

pots this year due to the roving local deer population
