Janet made the discovery the other week. She went out searching for some herbs and came back saying 'Ive never seen chives growing in a lawn before.' Turned out what she had found were onions - they're growing all over a particular part of the garden.

When I was at Chauvigny market yesterday they were selling 'oignons blanc' in bunches for planting in your potager, and they looked exactly like these. Here's a close-up of a single one:
