Three generations of egyptian walking onions

Three generations of onions, all still connected and supporting each other -- fascinating!

I was just checking mine out this morning. I put them in two years ago and I think I'll get a (small) harvest this year. Woot!
- I'm actually not even certain how to harvest. I guess the greens can be used as green onions, but do you eat the sets at the top? Or is there a bulb in the ground? (something something meme...but now I'm too afraid to ask)
  
  I believe the whole plant is edible, but I was planning on pulling the plant for the bulbs (which should be shallot sized) and re-planting the sets for next year.
This is my first year with Egyptian walking onions. I love the way these things work. Never ending onions!
Fun times. I miss growing them. Maybe we'll get out of this darned suburb next year...
- Here's hoping! Just keep mulching & composting!
