As long as they taste good, I'll be happy. They are growing really nice outside.

They are also known as multiplier onions (because you plant one clove and it grows into a cluster of several) and may be used as scallions when they are young. Excellent multi-use plant. They mature into nice smallish yellow- skinned bulbs with a mild onion but less garlicky flavour than the French shallots do but they keep well and are nice for cooking in any dish you want a delicate onion flavour.
You will enjoy them I'm sure. They are the first thing edible in my garden every year as green onions and I look forward to them
