Day 53 - The Spring Onion Experiment: Part 2

After the success of the previous spring onion experiment, I decided to do a little more investigation. But first a little background information. My spring onion bases that I planted back at the beginning of the month looked like a stick with roots. Over time this stick grew shoots, so the plants had 2, 3 and in one case 4 hollow cylinders coming out of the base.

I came to harvesting today and wondered whether to cut back to the base, or to leave a few millimetres of each shoot. I could see reasons for both - plants often respond to savage pruning, however saving them the effort of creating a new shoot must mean something.

Anyway, I'll see how the differing plants respond over time. Keep an eye out for details!
