Japanese onions
Allium fistulosum L. (Welsh onion, Japanese bunching onion) is a perennial onion also known as green onion, spring onion, scallion, escallion, and salad onion; very similar in taste and odour to related common onion, Allium cepa, and hybrids between the two (tree onions) exist; Welsh onion, however, does not develop bulbs, and possesses hollow leaves ("fistulosum" means "hollow") and scapes
What would be good to plant following early potatoes and peas to keep my plot productive over the winter?
Many saladings, including loose-leaf lettuces, small beet, onions and garlic could all be planted in autumn. Leeks can be planted in July and in August Japanese onions would be recommended. Also Rocket, Mizuna, Pak Choi and Mooli are great alternatives.
