I agree with you about growing onions, there just isn’t enough space to grow the number required for self sufficiency. Having said that, I do sometimes grow a small patch of specialty onions that you can’t buy in the shops and eek them out in salads and the like - in dishes when you can appreciate their homegrown qualities!

I think this is absolutely the right approach to take. Growing unbuyables is the most fun way to use a smaller space.
That sounds right up my street!
I’m so pleased! Do you grow onions?
I don't! Space mostly - but I grow other similars such as Egyptian walking onions, and other alliums that you can't buy in the shops
So interesting that this seems to be the approach taken by others too (including lovely Julia below). Very wise, I say!
