Onions are biennial plants, which means the first year they make bulbs (which you typically eat). If you don’t harvest onions the first year, they will come back the second year and go to seed (flower).
Last year we missed quite a few onions, and I transplanted them into the back of my perennial herb and flower beds. They are now as tall as I am, and just starting to flower!

We have been gardening together for many years, and started this blog in 2006 as a way to track progress and journal our experiences.
We live on the "Anoka County Sand Plain" in Minnesota. We're slowly working on transforming our one-acre lot into a permaculture haven.
Follow our blog for tips and tricks on organic vegetable gardening ... links to resources and articles on the subject ... photos of our harvest ... and a generous sprinkling of dog and cat photos. Thanks for visiting!
