Last year I took an onion that had started to sprout and put it in a tub. It appears to have divided into 4. What should I do? Is it ready to eat? Should I remove and plant else where? Any help appreciated. Thanks

Normally onions sprout ,flower and go to seed when planted like that. Are you sure it was an onion, not garlic or a shallot?

Hi there, thank ever so much for the response. It was an onion from supermarket. I think I may have to pull them up and check them out. Wish me luck! :)
