Green onions are a necessary ingredient for many dishes. And as a separate “dish” it is quite good – many people chew green onions with something else.
Usually, summer residents plant certain varieties specifically to obtain feathers throughout the summer.
In separate beds grow plants that are supposed to produce turnips.
And sometimes there is a temptation to pluck a couple of feathers from the latter - they look juicy and large and, apparently, are wasted.
However, in reality, such an idea cannot be called very good.
This is because onions need feathers to develop, including for the heads to grow large.
In this case, the feathers act as a kind of “intermediary” that helps the onion receive and store nutrients.
Thus, when the plant loses its feathers, it begins to grow new ones, and the bulbs will be forgotten until the restoration of the green part is complete.
The conclusion is this: grow onions for feathers and onions for bulbs separately.
