This is the best video about these onions. Really talking about every aspect of this onion. Thanks!

I found it growing in the wild (in Norway) 20 years ago, brought a few tops to plant and it has since grown in abundance in my garden. Have mainly used the leaves and planted/shared a few tops. Lately I needed to remove a big group and searched youtube how to use the bulbs. After watching many excited people with limited knowledge, I found this, every sentence is valuable information, thank you very much! Walk like an Egyptian 😉

Great content, ty! This is my fourth year growing EWO. I receiced small bulbs from a friend because she had so many in her garden, what a blessing!! I planted//not really//the small bulbs in the ground making sure they were lightly covered with soil. They rooted, sprouted and took off rather well. I have harvested the fresh tender greens, the top bulbs for salad and the large bulb that is in the ground for cooking. This year I have dehydrated the tender greens, will pickle the large top bulbs and will store the bottom bulbs till I find the time to cook them down into onion jam. I have realized that if you wait two- three years before harvesting the bottom bulb it will be larger, giving you more to work with when processing them. Egyptian walking onions are very low maintenance and highly productive onions for your perennial garden. I recommend and share them with everyone.

Thank you for all the tips!

Great onion, we use them as a herbaceous layer in the food forest and only take what we need and let them spread wild. A great sister plant is perennial leaks.

Such a great idea, will they grow in semi shade? I was thinking sorrel for my forest and now the onions too, but it is a lot of shade there

Best and most comprehensive video I’ve seen on these awesome onions. I’m one that enjoys all the tips I can get! I bought a few from eBay , and planted them. We are fall in Las Vegas and I have lots of green! So excited. Ty dear. Happy Holidays

Best instructional video I have found and I have watched A LOT. I have some walking onions ordered from Etsy and can't wait to get them planted in my west Texas soil. Thank you for a very thorough instructional video.

I tried to subscribe , but , KZread says I have too many subscriptions !!!! Keep making gardening videos and I'll keep watching !!!! Thank you very much !!!!

Absolutely love your video. I had looked at several others but only yours answered all of my questions. I cannot thank you enough! ❤

I planted them about 4 years ago. I didn't eat any bulbs the first two years and just separated the main bulb and the arial bulbs. I need to seperate the main and top bulbs and I estimate that I will have over 300 new plants by next year. If you plant the top bulbs, they will not set top bulbs the first year.

My plants have been I ground for seven months, it has grown big bulbs and bending greens. It's winter now, wondering when to separate the bulbs? Thanks for your explanation, I was wondering why there are not flowering heads😅. Now I know.

I really liked this video, I'm definitely getting me some walking onions. I just started growing onions last year and the flavor was so good I planted again this year. Thank you I'm in Kentucky, USA

I have white ones on the way. Already have red. So glad I found your video! Subscribed!

So much useful information about these curious onions. Have forwarded this video to a friend in Spain. Thank you 🇬🇧

Thanks for the detail! I’ve always either planted them direct. Sometimes I’ll save them a while first, but they are hardy snd don’t need to be started in trays. Edited to add. Northeast Ohio USA 🇺🇸 cold winters are no problem for these onions. They pop right up in the spring and are always our first harvest. We have an extra bed of them for spring onions and wow do we love them!

Not only survive cold winters(Northwest Ohio), but droughts and floods. I got mine from my wife's grandmother who called the "Tree Onions" and directly planted them, just like you. I've replanted the bulbs singularly for green onions next spring(really nice sized, unlike store bought green onions).

@@gregzeigler3850 YES! I have a pile of them on the counter for chopping. We use them every day from mid March. I clean and slice them thin. And store them in a quart jar in the fridge. They are ready for anything.

Don't plant them near beans. I managed to track some down last autumn. They came up in spring then just died off before summer. I've been trying to figure out for months where I went wrong and just yesterday came across some info that said they cannot be planted with beans and legumes. Well I had them in a garden bed with my runner beans. Won't be doing that again. Have bought bunching onions now.

Are bunching onions the same as potato onions?

​@@irishkazolotseBunching Onions Unlike potato onions they do not form large bulbs. The bases of bunching onions are slightly enlarged, like scallions. Once established, clumps need only be divided periodically.

A friend of mine gave me some onions to plant. They are doing great. Watched this video and learned a lot on how to use them. I probably will start another area of them so I can manage 2 areas. You can never have too many onions.

They have these onions that they serve in bars in a certain place in France. They are just bunching onions that are blanched in early spring. The people in their boastful way call them by a special name, Calcoit I believe. So I thought that I could chest beat as good as the French so I started calling the Egyptian onion bulbs Chalcotts and saying that this part of Arizona was the only place that produced the true Chalcott. Nobody was impressed with the renaming. Another time I had a large patch and I decided to try raising a couple of turkey. Every morning the turkeys would mow the onions like a lan.

Thank you, very informative

Hope you don't mind, but i shared your vid to Facebook for my friends and family. Thank you for the great videos.

I love this idea, my husband loves onions 🧅

Thanks for this video. Will give it a try. From DFW Texas

In the northern hemisphere, is autumn still a good time to plant? Must it be done before frost?

Hi, great shows!! Would you tell me how many acres you have ? Do you have a diagram of all your plants in your yard? Im starting over and would like to see how things might work...

Finally found a channel that has good information, thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I live in Adelaide, so where would I find some of these Egyptian Walking Onion to plant into my veggie patch? No one seems to sell them. I have just tried to source some without any luck. Do you sell yours by any chance?

Thanks for the great video! I have heard from others that you cannot store walking onion bulbs like would store other onions, without refrigeration. It seems like you do. So, is it possible to keep the bulbs good in a cool, dark area? Or do they need to be processed right away? Thank you!

I know for a fact that, as she mentioned "potato onions", you can keep them in a cool, dark area during winter and then plant them in the spring. I keep them in those reusable onion bags. 25+ yrs experience and it works like a charm! Canada

Interesting species, I'd like to grow them. I'm in Adelaide do you know any stockist here or do you sell the bulbs?

I wonder why the bulbs are so expensive. I found 3 bulbs from 18-32 dollars

The big onion you pulled out of the ground…..can it be replanted? Tks

Should I divide the small bulbs before planting them? Also do they need to be cured like regular bulb onions?

Hi Kirsten I assume the bugs you are referring to are tiny black insects, as all onions and spring onions are susceptible to black aphids - they can totally decimate your onion crop. The best way is to squish them at first sight, check your plants regularly, spray with a soap spray or white oil for larger infestations and try and plant lots of companion flowers to help attract predatory insects like ladybirds which eat aphids 💚

Esty sells them. Might be sold out by now, though.

I have started calling them "top ramp." Ramp is derived from hramsa, an ancient English word for onion, which typically means certain kinds of wild onions, and which I use to refer to the whole garlic genus absent a better word.
