So it isnt an invading species like knot weed. <br /><br />Not quite sure what benefit they get. I am the only person not uni educated in my family. Everyone else is a Dr, or a dentist, or a solicitor, an engineer, or a pharmacist, a publisher or they work in wealth management etc everybody works, so I doubt they qualify for anything as they will be above the threshold for it.<br /><br />Hey Ray, if you get onions that have too much bite, slice them and put them in water for 15 minutes drain and use as normal the tang will have been taken down. the special thing about this onion is it grows a 'set' at the top rather than a seed. it normally takes 2 years to get a seed to an onion to eat, this is a one year life cycle so it quicker but the product is a little smaller. I like any gardening that means less work for me. :)Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-43873309887148138092017-07-13T10:46:05.730+01:002017-07-13T10:46:05.730+01:00Had no idea there was such a thing as 'Egyptia...Had no idea there was such a thing as 'Egyptian' onions - as being something special, I mean.<br />For most of my life I could never eat raw onions as they felt like they caught in my throat and lingered for hours afterwards. Fried onions, fine. But recently I've started slicing up some raw ones thinly and putting them in a cheese sandwich, and it's not so bad now. Scrumptious, in fact.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-8252276236590252112017-07-13T08:03:34.559+01:002017-07-13T08:03:34.559+01:00Not sure vegetable gardening is cost effective for...Not sure vegetable gardening is cost effective for that number of kids though the benefits are. The onions are just going to seed like the normal onions you grow in your garden but in a crazy way from the look. Not sure I'd want to grow them here in the UK we have enough problems with other plants that take overBilly Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053172567806569702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-80145023355424018002017-07-13T07:48:15.138+01:002017-07-13T07:48:15.138+01:00Glad to hear your Dad is progressing.
