Having grown (and watered) white onions through this past Winter, I now find that the onions are going to seed before the bulb has fully grown out. It would be appreciated if you could give advice as to where I went wrong.

Onion 20 Aug, Rui (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Sometimes my bought onions in the kitchen start growing leaves. Can I plant these onions, and if so, will it spread and will other onions grow from it, and how should I plant them? Or can you only grow onions from seeds? Thank you.

Onion 14 Feb, Lynette (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
in my experience onions, once they start to show leaves in your vegetable rack will not grow in the garden. There are two things you can do - use them immediately in cooking, or put the sprouted bulb over a bottle of water and proceed as you would with an avocado pip: do not let the bulb touch the water. The green leaves can be used in salads in the same way as you would spring onions.
