how to plant onions
There is already an article for genus Allium. Certainly when people talk about "the onion" in english, they are referring exclusively to Allium cepa. I think this is better kept to the narrower usage, with a reference to many (though not all) Alliums being called "this and that onion". After all, many wild Alliums are called garlics.

Well, I changed it back to a species page. If anyone gets too horribly upset, I would suggest moving this page to garden onion or common onion and changing the resulting redirect under onion to point at allium. When I have more time, I would like to add a section on varieties, including not only "sweet spanish" and the like, but the egyptian onion, multiplier onions and so forth.

History?
Does anyone know anything about the onion's history? From what region does the onion originate? Etc. – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 03:24, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)
