onions

one of the walking onions "walked" twelve days ago and, i would have thought, set a precedent for walking behavior...clearly my thinking along these lines has been incorrect as the onions will demonstrate shortly...

when the aerial bulbs touched ground on this one they were still contained in a membrane...

since it touched ground the membrane has opened and it has irrupted in aerial bulbs and what looks to be yet more stems with membranous heads containing yet more aerial bulbs..i am keeping an eye on this...

another onion has begun to walk and it too has a membrane over the aerial bulbs...all wonderfully tidy and consistent behavior...until i begin to look a little further...

and find a yard full of upright and ruptured membranes exploding in flowers, aerial bulbs, and new stems...so which is the aberrant behavior? i will be looking for that answer as the season progresses...

and my two spear asparagus seedling continues to fern and has topped two inches...we are all good here so far.
