Multiplying Spring Onions

We love those spring onions and find them so much easier than growing spring onions from seed. No more successive sowing and making sure to have a continuous supply, they are there and keep on giving for 8-9 months of the year.
The below photo shows healthy spring growth. It was taken in October.
There are about 8-10 in each clump to give you a great start. The below photo shows you the shoots that emerge when the plant has died down. Winter (July) is a great time to divide the clumps, add fresh compost to the bed or plant them in a different spot.
After one growing season, you can dig the clump up and divide them. We plant about 10-20 in a clump. You will end up with 3-5 times the amount than you have started with.
This is the growth in the middle of summer (December/January). We cut off the flower stalks and prune/harvest them heavily from now until May. They will keep growing back again, providing a plentiful amount for soups, stews, stir-fries and salads.
