UPDATE for green onion bunching onions. Here is a source for seeds. Be sure to sow the seeds shallow into seed starting mix and keep the soil damp. www.southernexposure.com/prod...
Here is a link to a resource for bunching onion plants. Unfortunately, they are now out of stock as of 4/12/24. Here is the link anyway but do look for the plants. I think they will be a safer bet for success:

Are these green onions the same as chives in UK?
No,Chives are different
@@doreenbucheler2746
Thank you.
@@bernadettenightingale4495 No. These are larger and more tender.
Oh the voice of cock crow makes me remember my childhood in countryside of Vietnam! They wake me up for school, walking a mile away. After school, I work on my family garden. Now I live in San Diego with little back yard as retiree after 45 years working in USA.Thank you for the tips and the noise of chicken. Thank you people of USA.
Thank you for your kind words.
I am from Michigan and I have winter onions from my great grandmother to grandmother to me. I know they are at least 150 years old. They come up in the fall and die off, com3 back in the spring and if it was a hard winter, they re the mildest things you ever ate!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
May i have some that can plant it in my garden , love family history that is what have ❤️.
@@anitasantos7198 send me your address and I will mail you some when they go to seed.
wow, that is so cool!
My mother-in-law had some of these. They were so big, that we thought they might be leeks.
A neighbor gave me some green onions to plant in my garden. I have a squirrel problem because another neighbor keeps feeding them walnuts and they come into my yard and dig up my lawn and garden burying the nuts. I marveled that they can smell where they planted the walnuts so I thought, boy they must have a REAL good sense of smell. I decided to take some of the onions that my neighbor gave me and chop them up and strew them through the yard. OMG! It was like all the squirrels left town! My yard is eerily void of squirrels. When they get their nuts from my neighbor, instead of walking along my fence, they go up the telephone pole and walk past my yard on the wires! They want nothing to do with my yard. Now I will be planting them for a free repellent also.
WOW!!! Thanks for sharing. Come to think of it, they don't go in the barrels that have onions....looks like you are on to something!
I hope this works for possums.
@@mclanaford2957 I doubt it. They are pretty strong. I have a video about how we take care of possums. We've relocated quite a few.
I would've dug up the walnuts and used them
@@trkstatrksta8410That's mean.
You can do this with the tips of the onions you get at the grocery store, just plant the last 3/4 inch of your green onions and just go out and chop off what you need as you go.
Yup yup….first I started them in water saw those roots planted them go to my balcony garden to get green onions for dinner
My parents moved a lot but my dad always brought his multiplying onions with him.
In South Africa we call them Spring onions Have become very expensive
Same in New Zealand.WE call them the "spring onions".
Up North they are called scallions.
this is one of the only things I can actually grow in my yard without frickin bears tearing them up, it's nice to see how to grow them in profusion. thanks for the video!
Wow! I guess it would be hard to keep bears out of a garden!
Grow more spring onions, around the perimetre, or/and some mastard))They might not like the smell...
I've had good luck planting green onions from the grocery store. Works great for cut and come again "greens."
Yes!! You can also plant the bottom slice of an onion too. I did a long video that shows how to do that and a short video about regrowing veggies. Maybe you can check it out and grow onions like you do your green onions. Love your input.
@debbiesorganicgarden 🙂👍
This works if you havean organic romaine lettuce and also celery too. Just cut off the end and stick it root side down and try will grow if you keep them watered.
@@gloryb5513 I'm trying that! 🙂
@@debbiesorganicgarden D you have a link to the video? "long video that shows how to do"
I was just gifted about seven of these walking onions. I had no idea I needed to cut them back. Thanks for the tip !
Yay! Great gift and I'm glad you now know how to keep them multiplying.
I overwintered onions for the first time and wondered how to maintain them. This was really helpful ~ thank you!💚
What a huge garden she have. She dun need farmer market, its in her backyard. 🥰
I had a nursery and propagated
The reason you cut back the greens or the flower on any plant is to give the roots more nutrition instead of sending it up through the stock
The reason to cut back plants you are propagating is to reduce water loss through the leaves via transpiration. There is no “nutrition for roots without leaves to photosynthesize.
So, if you let the "green" onion seed, it will use up it's bulb and NOT come back up the following year?
Watching how you use your spade to cut the he roots of the weeds and unwanted plants.
No one ever taught me this and I have just learned a new skill. My husband keeps buying green onions and I keep forgetting to use them. If I planted some, I could have them more often as I’d plant them and remember I did that.
Thank you so much
It comes natural after so many years of gardening. I never even thought about it when I made the video so thank you so much for the kind words.
I took my store bought green onions, cut the tops and stuck the bulbs in my Aero Garden. They have been growing for months. You don't get any new bulbs, but there is a plethora of greens to use in cooking and salads.
Thanks for sharing.
I do the same with the root end of sweet and red onions from the store, it does the same thing, except the greens of the onions do not stay thin.
I love nature and its drive to survive.
Thanks for the tips on growing green onions. I have a batch of them, and I always cut them back because I use so many of them. I didn't realize that cutting them back is what was helping them spread so abundantly. I haven't seen any seed buds until this year. I cut them off, figuring they might spread to areas where I don't want them. I'll make sure I keep a close eye on my onions, now that I have more than I can actually use, to make sure they don't seed on me.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I have a tub of onions that I haven't replanted in about 4 years. I don't dig up the bulb ever, but I constantly go to it and cut the green tops off and use them. Yes, I get seed heads, but I haven't worried about them. My onion plants are huge. The green tips are iften an inch or wider. It's awesome! But... I so appreciate your video and learning new ways. I see your success in replanting. I do wish you'd update and show us how your new replanting is doing! Happy gardening!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making this informative video! You taught me something that I'll do for the rest of my life! You'll keep me knee-deep and green onions until the day I drop dead of old age! Green onions will help to extend a guy's life by keeping his insides clean !!;
All these years I've been growing green onions and didn't know this. Thank you! Much appreciated.
I'm not sure it's true of ALL green onions but it sure would be worth the try. These are slightly different from the ones in the grocery store. If you succeed, I would sure love to hear back from you!
@@debbiesorganicgarden✝️
Green onions have gotten so expensive at the store I have stopped buying them. I will get some bunching onions most definitely. I love to use them in fried rice by the fistfuls and in my scrambled eggs.
Chives in scrambled eggs are better😋
You missed the perfect chance to say, "Give it a green thumbs up!" 😁 Great video. Thanks.
haha, I certainly could have!
I had no idea it was “one or the other”. Thanks for this!
I'm glad you were helped!
I found this video so helpful. Grow bunching onions, chop them off, don't let them go to seed, and divide them when necessary. Now, I need to find bunching onions.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Try the source for the seeds in the first comment where I provide a link.
My chives are growing blooms. You helped me see that I need to cut them down!
I was going to ask, all of this applies to chives too?
@@tessjuel I cut my chives back, and they already grew back!!
Only need to cut them down if you don't want seeds
thank you for the info, very nice of you to share for the betterment of humanity! nice to know some people still care! God bless you!
I sow a packed of bunching onion seeds about 4 years ago. This year i gave a few pots as birthday gift to my cousin.
You are a good friend! Where did you get your seeds? The seeds that come from my bunching onions don't make good bunching onions. Just the scrawny ones you see near the end of the video.
@@debbiesorganicgarden hi
I live in Malaysia, during lockup i managed to get new stock of bunching onion seeds from one of Malaysia well known seed company. Nowadays, with people working, they no longer have new seeds, just selling old onion and chives seed stocks. My chives and bunching onion never bolted, maybe because i always harvest the leaves, cleaned and freeze them. We don't have winter here and my chives and spring onion self divided themselves 3 times a year so my supply so far is constant.
@@80sforever3 very cool. Thanks for sharing.
How do you overwinter them? Or are you in the South? Ohio is warming, as is the rest of the planet. But it is not yet warm enough to harvest onions through the winter months.
@@thisbushnell2012 Malaysia has a tropical rainforest climate with a monsoon spike in rainfall. "Winter" is just the time it's slightly cooler. Still hot and wet
Awesome. I grew both welsh bunching onions and red bunching onions from seed a few years ago. Im almost at the stage of needing to divide do this was very helpful thank you.
That's amazing that you were successful in growing them from seed! Yes, divide and keep them going!
My onions have been growing for years. Great information here. Thank you, FJB... FJB... FJB... !
Thanks for sharing! What is fjb?
@@debbiesorganicgarden Probably something political, related to (and opposing) the current president of the US. If I am right, it probably stands for "[expletive verb in the imperative tense deleted] Joseph Biden". I am not going to say whether I agree - depending on your orientation, that's not to be discussed in TH-cam comments.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 thank you for explaining.
I watched this a couple of times. I went out and bought some green onions at the market, and planted them two per pot. I’ll let you know what happens! Thank you!!
Yes, please let me know!
In West Virginia at our camp they call them Ramps. They grow wild.
I'm not sure if they are the same thing. It's cool, either way:)
I bought some green onions at the store a couple of years ago, used the tops in a salad and planted the bottom two inches in the community garden. This is Texas, and they get two or three feet high. And they have survived the abuse by the people who have appointed themselves to over-water and turn the garden into a mudpit every day. I cut off some tops whenever I need them. They flower, but I haven't seen them divide. Onions are tough.
Thanks for sharing! Sounds like they are a very hardy plant!
I've been poking the root part of green onions in the ground for years because they give me the green tops for garnishes, but I had no idea they'd multiply like this. That said, I threw some garlic out into the yard and the garlic has formed a big clump. It's time for me to dig down and find out what's under the ground.
The ones in the video are specifically, "bunching onions". I don't know if green onions from the grocery store will do the same.
@@debbiesorganicgarden my understanding is that many green onions are fistulosum.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 that word is a new one for me but, by golly, you are spot on!
I recently discovered that folks use green onions for the green parts. I knew Asian recipes do that as a garnish, but I never have. I use the white parts as onions.
Yep. I use all parts.
I can smell it from here in my kitchen garden
Loved your video!!
Egyptian walking onions, they don't make seeds, but instead little bulblettes on top you can cut/pinch off and plant wherever. Much easier to control.
I have seen that too. My onions do both, oddly. I've never tried to plant them. I will try that when I see it again. Thanks!
I have those too. Planted several years ago & they are walking around my garden. ❤them
Yes, that's what I grow
@@debbiesorganicgarden🦾✝️
I have both bunching and egyptian. I find the egyptian onions are not as tender as the bunching. Good for soup stock though.
Love green onions
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, this was what we needed to know.
Ordered seed. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips about when to trim to get more spreading.
Glad it was helpful.
Great info! Thank you.
Lovely
Thank you for sharing this ✌️✌️
Good info. Thanks for sharing 🧅
Thank you
Excellent. Thank you.🎉
What a delightful video!
I’ve been growing bunching onions for years and I didn’t know why it won’t bunch up! Thankyou for your tips, I will cut off the flower heads this year. That is an invaluable tip to know. ❤
Glad it helped!
What is the difference between the TASTE of the green onion leaves from the plants that were forced to "bunch up" vs the plants that were allowed to seed or recently grew from a seed?
If you only Cut the flower, will the bulb not grow bigger?
@@hvasaa in my experience, they don't. They react by making more at the bottom as shown by the tiny new ones at the beginning of the video.
thank you 🌺👍♥️
Wonderful video. Thank you.
Thank you great GREAT video!
Thanks for great information ❤
Great info. Thanks very much.
Thank u. I have learnt a lot

Just came across your video. I love green onions! I have learned so much from your video. I have subscribed to your station. Ty and God bless ✝️💗
Thank you helps a lot.
Wow great info, thanks!!
Debbie, so glad I discovered you. Miss my garden so much as we are
in an apartment now. Thank you again, Lawrie in NW Philadelphia.
Welcome! Pennsylvania is beautiful!
I live in an apartment in the center of a large Southern city, and I am growing carrots, basil, tomatoes, sage, chives, basil, and tons of mint & catnip - in buckets on my balcony! My carrots are huge, and everyone comments on my giant "ferns" (which are just the fluffy green carrot tops!) I love it! ❤❤❤
Thanks! 😉 👍
Green onions get so expensive, some stores sell them a dollar for a bunch
In Tofino,BC,Canada last week green onions were 2.49 a bunch!
Pitt Meadows $2.89
If people stop buying them they will have to lower the price.
Thank U much🎉from Atlanta Ga ❤
Yay, I love Atlanta!!
Thank you! I never knew!
Thank you.
thank you
Thank you for the video 🫶(from Belgium)
My bunching onions are surviving winters in New Jersey. I don't even cover them anymore. I let my seed heads develop so the pollinators have some early flowers. I have seed heads on my chives right now, and the bunching onions are getting close to working on seeds. I also have my chives and bunching onions a few pots with Alpine strawberries.
The onions/chives I have in full sun are enormous. The plants in partial shade have spread out more and faster.
Interesting! Shade causes them to spread out more. That's probably why the ones in my barrels did better than the ones in the garden. So, do you allow your bunching onions to make seeds? Do you replant them?
@@debbiesorganicgarden I just let them grow where they are. I don't move anything. The chives spread faster, I just pull them out and use them. The onions spread faster in pots. Not sure if rabbits are eating the onion sprouts in the ground, they're not touching the chives.
Thank 🐦 you
I just went thro' my frig. & planted green onions & celery that had lots of roots starting.
Thank you from Australia.
Yes, you can do that with regular onions too! See my short video about that!
I just subscribe to your channel... I love the way you explain everything!!! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for sharing this information!
Glad it was helpful!
Good job
Thanks.
Thank you so much for this info. I didnt know about how to let them bunch.❤
You are so welcome!
thanks
Thanks. I buy green onions from the grocery, cut off the greens and use them, then plant the bottom white + roots in pots and use the greens that come up in my favorite dishes. Greens are my favorites - I use them in everything but blueberry pie.
Well, I wouldn't put them in blueberry pie either🙃 Thanks for the chuckle and the ideas.
Super informative! Thanks for sharing your experience with growing them, too. It’s little tidbits and notes like that that are helpful
Glad it was helpful!.

Great lesson, thank you!
My pleasure!
Great tips! I love green onions! Thank you🌿
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this information. I cut back some I have in a pot and didn't know I was doing the right thing.
Happy little mistakes! I'm glad it was a good one!
Nice video, thank you. I didn't know that the grocer's is this very plant. I'll definitely buy some for my garden today.
Honestly, I've never replanted green onions from the store. Def worth the try if you can't find a source for bunching onions. These are slightly different from green onions from the store.
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT INFORMATION 😇🙏🏽👍🏾
You are so welcome
I LOVE onions! Thank you. I will be doing this soon!
Yay!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Needed to know this! My green onion patch was deteriorating. Thanks
Glad I could help!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your knowledge with me, it’s planting time here in Ottawa Canada and I will plant my onions as you suggested.
I hope they do well for you.
Heard that primary song. Yay
