One of my favorite parts of spring is seeing the wild onions appear. Oh, I know they are considered weeds among many, but to me, they are just a wonderful sign of spring!
If you have them in your yard, you know it. When you mow over them, they give off the most wonderful smell!
We have a wonderful little plot in the back of the back yard that has many of the wonderful little alliums! I remember the wonderful onion smell from childhood. It was truly a sign of spring and I knew that summer was not far off!
