Its a brilliant idea. A bit related to Karen’s question about the difference, or not, in onions.
Any of shallot or onion bulbs and sets pass through a “spring/salad onion” phase before they bulb in summer.
Buying sets to grow as spring onion does cost more, but if you have some left over it makes sense.
You will notice a bit more green leaf and less white stem than on varieties bred for salad onion.
