You may remember the Egyptian Walking Onions that we got from a generous gardener down in the south city. They’ve been getting established for the last few months, and now they are doing their crazy thing — the bloom on top of the sprouts (which look like green onions) are opening up and sprouting new onions. If I understand it correctly, eventually the original onion will wilt, fall to the ground, and the sprout will root down and plant a new onion. Right now it just looks like a Dr. Seuss plant, growing a new plant out of its head.
