Onions

[LynninTN]

I’ve only done minimal food gardening and I’ve never grown onions.

I bought some onion sets from rural king. I planted them in late April. They are doing great. I’ve pulled a few to eat in salads. They are green onions. Will the onions grow larger into regular onions or are the actually green onions?

They were not labeled and they were almost out. The associates didn’t have any information.

It has been a while since I've grown onions, but my suspicion is that since they were sold as sets, they'll grow into larger onions. There is nothing wrong with eating them as green onions, though!

I always had better luck with the onion plants than the bulbs. If you want them to bulb, you have to barely plant them in the ground. If you bury them, they won't bulb out and they will be green onions. If you think they are too deep, try removing the dirt from around the bulb.
