Spring Onions (Blue Onion, Negi)

Honestly, I can't remember when I planted these Spring Onions (Blue Onion, Negi), but believe it was sometime in 2020 or 2021; regardless, they are doing well. I grow them just for their greens. Recently I added a backing and crisscrossed some wire to keep them upright considering how windy it is in my region. This has helped keep the greens in good shape.

I planted these Green Onions (Scallion, Negi) about six months ago and later added some Blue Onions (Spring Onions), but they are out of control, so I decided to dig up some of the bulbs and transplant them to a different planter. 

This is what the planter looks like now that I removed some of the Onions.

I removed these four groups of Onions and transplanted them in this container. I cut the stems off to help promote growth, but three days later they already started to regrow.

It's been about two weeks since I planted the bulbs of the Spring Onions (Blue Onion, Negi) I purchased from the supermarket. In total I planted about 10 bulbs. I'll just use the green sprouts and let them regenerate and see how many times I can harvest them.

The Blue Onion (Negi) bulbs I planted a week ago started to sprout. If you recall I purchased these from a supermarket.

I purchased these Spring Onions (Negi) from a supermarket today. The store calls them Blue Onions, but the bulbs look like Spring onions, so suspect it is simply a cultural adaptation. Anyway, since they had the roots still attached, I decided to put them in water to keep them fresh as I use the top portion and later plant the bulb. 

I planted four bulbs today. Let's see if they generate new shouts.

Green Onions and Scallions are the same thing, but called differently as they mature.

I use a lot of onions in my cooking, but do not use the bulb. I simply cut off the top portion of the onion, which will allow it to regrow.

I harvest the seeds, but never used them yet.
