|
Hi, All
I'm looking for this summer squash:
Zucchino Rampicante aka; Zucca D'Albenga
It's a vining summer squash the can be grown upright rather than
sprawling all over the ground.
I'm looking for Potato Onion, there a Multiplying Onion that grows like Shallots or garlic.
Thanks, farmer ron:)

I wonder if that's the same as a "walking onion?"

Hi, Finnabair
No, walking Onion aka: Egyptian Onions
are a top set onion, that is that they set small bulbs at the top for harvesting as well as the whole plant can be harvested.
Whereas, Potato Onion does not set any top bulbs to replant. They Multiply by setting bulbs (Onions) from their sides. Unlike the Walking Onion that is propagated by top sets (bulbs) the Potato Onion is propagated by bulbs that grow out from the base.

I think they are called multiplier onions. Plant one bulb in early Spring and they do multiply. Oh, they are so very tasty!
