For that matter anything. You have several plants in the Onion Family.

Onions are good for you but what do you use all them for?

And it really don't make sense to dry when you have so many fresh.

I think anything but fruit cake my missus starts by chopping up an onion.
I read leeks and onions discourage slugs and it is worth planting them round the edge of the beds, though when I tried I found them in the way and a nuisance, then I found one fallen over and a huge slug starting in on the one next to it.
Winter onions don't keep as well as summer ones.

Got these six small pots outside on a stand, I have a vague memory of thinking "Oh I'll remember that" because I couldn't find a label. They have come up, I think they are leeks, I'll try splitting a pot up soon. There are quite a few in there, I think I might have been unsure of the germination rate of old seed and been a bit generous, no problem.

Leeks in a pot I hope they are to be transplanted.

They are seedlings, will get transplanted. I am trying leeks in containers though, three to a fourteen litre bucket, I also have leeks growing round a couple of my beds that are coming on well. Don't want to be short of a leek, we are veggie and they are great for a bit of extra flavour in all sorts of things. You can plant out a bunch and start eating them young, they are just as good and you don't get an over laod all at once.
