Hello all.

Some time ago, probably in July, I found an onion in my vegetable rack
which had sprouted green shoots.

Out of curiosity I planted the onion in my front garden and it grew about
10 large long thick leaves that wilted and died , and also 2 large stalks
about 3 and a half foot high.

Each stalk has a round ball flower type thing on the top.

Now I see that one of the flower balls has small green shoots coming out
of what appears to be very small onions in the head of the flower.

What do I do next ?

I know absolutely nothing

Onion is a biennial {2yr.life cycle} and you have witnessed the 2nd.
final year. It has flowered and will now die. It is possible to plant the
small plantlets that have grown on the head but this is not easy or
productive.
Best Wishes Brian.
