Egyptian Walking Onions for sale! (lemmy.world)

If anyone is interested, I have Egyptian walking onion bulbs for sale https://eugene.craigslist.org/grd/d/eugene-beautiful-egyptian-walking-onion/7785624808.html

These are my absolute favorite garden superstars-- a PERENNIAL ONION that is versatile and thrives in our area. You can harvest the topsets to use like onions or garlic, use the stems like chives/green onions, or harvest the whole bulbs like a yellow onion. I'm selling my fall harvest of topsets for less than half the price you get 'em for at Territorial

Not in the area, but what is the yield on these? Is it worthwhile space wise for small patio pot gardening next to something like tomatoes, jalapeños, or green beans? I already have around three bunches of green onions growing in a pot. That provides me with a sufficient supply of fresh green onions. I like fresh pico de gallo, so I am growing tomatoes and peppers. Onions would make it better, but am presently resorting to buying onions as traditional onions seem to need more space to produce in sufficient volume.

The most magical thing about Egyptian walking onions is that they are self-sustaining. They grow from bulbs into greens that then grow bulbs at the TIP of the green stems. So you can pull the parent (to eat) and plant the child over and over and over. I have a 3 ft by 2 ft area with about twenty or twenty-five EWOs in it. They're happy clustered super close together, so I would think the yield would be pretty good in a small space. They also don't need pollination at any point in their life cycle, so you can grow them inside to get even more out of 'em.
