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



Hi Nyssa,

Do you pull them out or just harvest the greens?

I don't see why you can't do either or both. As long as
you allow some of them to go to seed each season, you
should be good to go.
