I'd guess onion or garlic chives. We have them growing all over the back part of our house. I love them because they're one of the first things I can harvest in my garden in the early spring.

Thanks for the reply - I'm tickled to have chives and yes, they came up in freezing weather, earlier than my calla lilies. These leaves smell so good it seems they ought to be sprinkled on something

These leaves smell so good it seems they ought to be sprinkled on something everything. <--- fixed it for you. ;-)

seriously though. sprinkled on salads. mixed with cream cheese and spread on toast, bagels or sandwiches, in grilled cheese sandwiches. so many tasty things.

You think like I do!
My own mother once accused me of being unable to bake a cake without onions in the house.
(I like to think she was teasing me but with her you never knew!)
:^D
BTW: You forgot the onion gravy!

ha!
The trouble is that my husband complains if there's obvious onion in things. Apparently he doesn't like the texture of them. I mostly tell him to suck it up and deal because I don't know how to cook without them.

My Hubby hates the smell of cooking onions while I adore them (and the Hubby).
What's a woman to do?
;^)

I'll bet he's glad that he's not a kid any longer and can simply pick them out of a dish without too much comment!

This is true!

Quick question: I've used a bit in cooking, and now with warmer weather, the plant has begun to dry out. Do you keep watering or let them go the way of all bulbs and allow the leaves to die off?

[mcsassypants]

I've always left them alone. They seem to thrive on neglect

Thanks for the swift reply!
