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.

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.
