As an extension to the experiment of how well Red Florence onions fare when grown as courgettes, I also found a couple of Bedford Champion onions and just stuffed them in by the hedge. Forgot all about them and then they were well and truly covered and hidden from view by a bunch of peas. Now the peas are gone and it seems that one of these onions has split into 3 small bulbs and all are flowering. But one of the flowers consists of almost nothing but top bulbils. I know leeks can grow 'pips' but onions? Not a brilliant photo but shows the scape with bulbils ok. And the scape next to it (grown from the same original onion that split into 3) looks 'normal'
