Sets are tiny bulblets grown from seed sown 
thickly last summer. They will produce green, 
bunch or pulling Onions in four to six weeks, much 
quicker than will seed. They may be allowed to 
remain, and develop into full-size Onions sooner 
than from seed. Egyptian Onions are autumn-planted 
hardy perennials, yielding green pulling Onions 
every spring. Garlic divides and increases in the soil.
