The onions are blooming! I've never had much success at growing onions. These are volunteers that grew from an onion end 'piece' that I buried like I do all my veggie scraps. Earth worms love the scraps, but some most below ground crops do not decomposed, but send out new shoots (onions, potato skins, carrot tops, sweet potato trimmings, etc).
I posted this for reference (adjacent photo of a close up of the blossoms).

if you collect the seeds and then use them to make your own little "seed onions" to grow from, they should do much better.
Need good ground and if you have strawberries, plant them among them. It's beneficial for both plants.
