Re: Hello/Wild Onions

I too have wild onions in the back yard. They grow everywhere. If I can,
I try to
dig them up. However, when the weather gets hotter the tops disappear. I

have heard of them being eaten in this area, but have never checked this

out. Don't fret, they will soon be gone as the whether gets warmer, as
will a lot of the weeds that grow in your yard. Don't waste a lot of
money on "weed and feed" products.
