Yesterday, while harvesting bunches of sage and mint around the hoop houses at the farm, I walked past a planting of Egyptian Walking Onions that were going to seed. Alien-like globular seed pod clusters of white and pink were starting to form. These clusters will eventually grow to be heavy and bend the onion stalk to the ground. They will in essence reseed themselves through this process. This is also where they got their namesake- over time these onions will gradually walk across the garden. Crouching down, I snapped this quick photo of them and thought our CSA members would enjoy the strange growths.
