Perennial Egyptian Walking Onions 

Brill video, thanks for that. I've been listening to your podcasts too, giving me lots of new ideas!!! Glad i found you :) May i ask roughly what area of uk you are in? I'm north west england so conditions different to a lot of other people RU-vid's I am following!

Northeast Ohio, USA here. We call the spring onions “scallions”. I LOVE these onions too! They even tolerate our cold winters. Our first harvest in the Spring. Yes! I have a patch of them that I call “the Mother onions” to keep for bulbuls and bigger onions. Then I have a patch for cutting. I cut them right down into the soul and bring in enough for food prep and to keep a good size jar of chopped onions ready in the fridge. Those plants will regrow the tender greens while the mother plants are making babies. Every year I find more ways to extend the eating time of these fabulous onions. Oh! The cut ones multiply at the base too😂! They just keep giving! Thanks for your informative enthusiastic video! 🎉🎉🎉

My favourite plant in the garden. Had them for a year and been eating the greens the whole time. Now they’re sprouting out the top like crazy. THE BEST!

I had a clump of EWO’s start last year right outside of my flower bed. They were smallish plants and this year they are about 40” tall. They smell amazing. I have to put a fence around even flower beds because of the deer so I decided to keep the edges neat by edging the fence with walking onions, rhubarb and comfrey. I already have rhubarb and walking onions together and they look so nice together. The rhubarb gets huge because I’m always watering the flower bed. Im like you in that I will eliminate buying store onions once I get enough EWO’s. The deer don’t touch any of the plants right outside the flower beds so this will save space in my veg garden. I love perennial garden foods!!

Glad to see the enthusiasm. Walking onions were in my grandparents' garden 40 something years ago. Time to get my own.

Awesome video. I am so excited! We finally got our first Egyptian walking onions recently. Put them in pots for now. Doing well. They were sold out everywhere! A friend of mine recommended Etsy for things like that. Found them right away, at a fair price. We started our new Food forest project, and are about to put these in. Your video is motivating. Thank you.

I love these things. I've been planting them for years, & i put them in any bed or place that needs texture + free onions forever! I have people that walk by & just love them, bcuz they make curly-q's & look interesting. I can plant them at any time, & they will even grow in shade, yet aren't invasive. 🌿😊

welsh onions are cool too. All the best from mid wales

I thought the hair was your natural state being a first time viewer. It looks good!

Thank you so much for your wonderfully exciting, & informative lowdown on these lovely plants. Long may they live, & I do hope more people will learn about, & make good use of the same.

Thank you. I have just got myself some Egyptian Walking Onions, you helped demystify them for me. Many thanks.

Great coverage on Egyptian Onions!

Yeeeeeessss mate!! Lovin the new look bud. Great for this weather and another great video Karl 😎😎

I've been growing them since 2014. Trust me, if you just ignore them they will come up again and again no problem 🙂

Great video, thanks! I have never heard of perpetual onions before but I will definitely go and find some and add them to my garden.

We planted just a few of these in the fall of 2019 and then we were out of town most of 2020 in isolation in the country. We just came back this spring to find the walking onions in big clumps and bulbets growing like crazy. I definitely like them and will expand our growth in town and in the country but I won't be replacing regular annual (technically biannual) onions because these don't appear to make large onion bulbs that are so good for slicing, etc. Definitely worth growing. More important, your channel is definitely worth watching. Very well done videos. Thanks.

Carl, you've really been on a journey with you hair haven't you! 🤣 Soon you'll rocking a mullet 😂. I'd love to get my hands on some of these onions. They just seem awesome.

I love these onions. This is a great video.

Love walking onions! This was a great video Carl, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge!

I met you on NSC yesterday! I listened to the podcast, enjoyed it, and found you on here as well. Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate the content. You asked for feedback as well so here it is. You should have your podcast and any social media links on every RU-vid video in the description. You can set that up very easily in creator studio so you don't actually have to do it every time. On the podcast, I think you should re-record your intro and segment breaks. They sound like lesser sound quality than your 'main' content. Maybe you upgraded microphones since you recorded them? Anyways, those are just a couple small tweaks that I would make to improve the quality. Content wise, just keep it up. The vids and podcast are both very good. I have so many walking onions at my house planted from just a couple originals.

Excited about finding these and planting them! Great job explaining how to plant, grow, and harvest them! Thanks so much!!

Hey Carl awesome video once again! I have a few of your videos I need to catch up on but watching this one you can see your confidence behind the camera has massively grown since your early uploads and your great personality is really showing through so keep up the good work! 👍 Also love the look of these walking onions (brilliant name) looking forward to your podcast tomorrow to hear about the giveaway as this plant seems a must have in any garden! 😃

Those egyptian onions are big! Mine are only half the size at maturity.

I am planning to plant them in my summer garden bed, which I made it this year. If I plant them in the same bed now can I get the bed for my summer gardening with other vegetables.

Ah they are great. Where did you get them from?

What happens during winter and snow?

I am from Quebec, Canada with freezing temperatures at MINUS 15-20’ F all week and snow ++! Can I plant this kind of onions??

The vigour that I have heard the top onion demonstrates, I would take as a threat. That doesn't mean I will not obtain and grow them! I merely feel that they are so exceptionally vigorous as to present a threat if allowed to grow out of control. As an unemployed recluse living in my parents' second home I kinda need any excuse I can get to get out of the house and I wonder if a plant vigorous enough to have invasive potential, but tame enough to be easily controlled with a fork, would be that excuse.

Buongiorno Carl, vorrei piantare i bulbi di cipolla egiziana ma è molto difficile trovarli. Potresti spedire qualche bulbo in Italia? Paghiamo noi.

Were can you get some bulbuls to get started? I've never seen them for sale

You didn't mention how close to plant them.

Hi.Can you help me please where can I ordered this onion bulbs?

Did you plant the bulbils individually and how deep in the soil?

Mine have never been bigger than thumbnail size!

Think you meant again and again and again and...............................
