I have always grown walking onions for personal use, but never for sale as green onions. You can fall plant the bulblets on a 1x1 inch grid in a rich soil and they will come up nice tall and thin. A wide raised bed wotks great.  

I don't know which variety I have.  I got them from my aunt who got them from my grandfather who got them from his father.  They have been in the family for close to 100 years. 

If anyone has a source for potato onions, I'd love to get some.  The mature bulbs of the walking onions are too potent for my taste.
