Does anyone know if egyptian Onions are edible? I got some from a guy in my department and they are doing great. He didn't know if they were edible either. They get a cluster of baby onions on TOP of the stalk where the flowers were. You can then plant them and eventually end up with zillions of these things.

Well, I haven't heard them called Egyptian Onions, but I've grown something similar, i.e. they grow sets at the top of the stem, you plant them, you get more, they're totally hardy, etc... and they make excellant scallions, although they do get tough and *HOT* when they get old. -- SUPPORT SECULAR TEDDY-BEAR-ISM.
