But I like the idea of using the leaves as needed.Amy Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308018161028455017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480156803539286871.post-28721861758382062482010-05-12T06:00:17.518-05:002010-05-12T06:00:17.518-05:00Everyone grows them here (in Australia)!

They are really tough and if you buy a bunch at the market, you can cut off the root ends and just replant them (even if they have been in the fridge for a week, they will sprout again). Most people pull the whole plant out to use, but we leave them in and just take a 'leaf' or two for flavour. They always go to seed eventually though.Gay McKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03895148163666930686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480156803539286871.post-63221159341359252712010-05-06T21:50:36.456-05:002010-05-06T21:50:36.456-05:00I think you're right about the biennial thing....I think you're right about the biennial thing. I vaguely remember reading something about the first year being when you harvest, and the second is when they flower. I'll try treating them like onions next planting season.Amy Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308018161028455017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480156803539286871.post-38990152842638366532010-05-06T18:35:15.902-05:002010-05-06T18:35:15.902-05:00I think they might be biennials, like carrots and ...I think they might be biennials, like carrots and onions, and take 2 growing seasons to complete a life cycle. Just a thought, would need to do a bit of research to figure it out, though.Mama Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534245701379707268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480156803539286871.post-34102412570775869602010-05-06T12:08:16.466-05:002010-05-06T12:08:16.466-05:00Yeah, they might just be on the non-mild side of t...Yeah, they might just be on the non-mild side of things.
