figured in a quite heavily into the stuff that i cook and so David bought me a bunch of em at Lowe's and so this morning we planted them in our backyard......
How to tell it's Spring in Texas: wait until the weather has been spring-like for so long that you are positive it's okay to plant something; plant something and watch it start to sprout; watch it die because of a killing frost that comes in "unexpectedly"; replant. It's Spring!
You know your postscript has sent me off on a wild adventure through dictionary.com. My instinct was to say 'a herb' as the NZ dialect pronounces the 'h'. I know that in america, the english dialect there drops the 'h' sound although I would still write it as 'a herb' because of the simple spelling rule - 'an' before all words starting with a vowel.
Anyway, thankyou as I now know the history and evolution of the word 'herb' and I'm sure my life will be better from now on...
BTW, thanks for your nice comment on my site.
And, like you I am also a spring onion fan, seriously useful and yummy plant. Here's something weird: my english friend was helping me cook one day so I got her to chop the spring onions. She proceeded to cut all of the green tips off and chuck them out, and only chopped the smaller, whiter section. Turns out she didn't realise you eat the green bit and she had never tried it before! - she loves all of the plant now.
