Mum's right suzanne, perhaps you forgot to water it ;)

Hally your spring onions look great.  Reminds me that I must get some more to plant out, I hate buying them.

Thank you.
I hate to buy them, when you can buy a punnet of 6 or 8 for $2.

Organic & taste so good.

Hally, if you cut off spring onions about a centimetre from the base, they will regrow. Even if we have to buy some always cut off roots and plant, always work.
