We usually plant onions in the field, but I wanted to have my own green onions, within walking distance (so I wouldn't have to wait for my husband to bring them from the field). But we just moved and there's a ton of work to do, both inside and outside. Then my neighbor said, "Just plant them, without digging." She told me she sometimes plants a little at a time like that.
