We grew some red spring onions in pots later on last year, and although they're pretty small, they do look nice in a stir-fry or a salad. We used quite a few, and they were prolific!

My query is, while we have quite a lot left growing, will they blossom, (or even 'onionate'), to start growing again? I don't mind feeding them if they do such a thing of course, as they're beginning to look 'hopeful'..;0)

They may be more prone to bolting and produce flowers, but whether that will be at the expense of the bulbs bulking up or the bulbs may be ok but not as good to eat texture-wise, I'm not sure on this. There's nothing lost by leaving them in (or some if you need the space for something else) and see what happens.

Last time I grew them (outside) they took over a year to get to edible size. 

In theory you'd expect them to run to seed in their second growing season, but having never got out of first gear I was able to eat mine before that happened.

Ones I sow the previous year and eat this year have never bolted, even though sometimes they are still in the ground in May 

If they stayed in longer they would of course. Did you want the seeds then Growster?

Seeds, Sunny? Well, not really, it's just that we grew a packet in modules and they suddenly perked up, to the point that we didn't need them all, last year!

So they're out there, and at 10p a pop in Twongos, I wondered if it's worth keeping them there to see what they'll do!

Unless you need the space urgently I'd let well alone and eat them all up when you need to
