Aha! That is what "bunching onions," as I have encountered elsewhere
means.

Thank you, odd collision.

there are a lot of terms in casual gardening and
vegetable gardening that are not precisely defined.

a green onion, a spring onion, scallions, chives
can be a number of different things. add in the
talk about potato onions, walking onions, egyptian
onions, bunches and such, then there are things like
ramps and odd or large garlics which some may
consider onions or not. and then we have the tulip
off to the side minding it's own business and garlic
chives.

it's fun to read up on and to have a few of this
and that to see what they grow like.

i'm trying to be patient with these bunching onions
here but it's hard to not want to go out and dig some
up and eat them in a stir fry (rite neow!)...
