I have some space at a Community Garden. The Hmong gardeners there always have neat and tidy gardens, and one of the gardens really caught my eye late last summer because of the onions they were growing.

They appeared to be grown in rows of "hills" and were large, white onions, with about half of the onion exposed above the dirt. Is this a special method of planting onions? My hubby always buries ours deep into the ground and they never get all that large. We never see the actual onion above ground when it's time to harvest them, so perhaps we are planting way too deep.

Still curious if this is a common method to growing onions, with so much of the onion above ground at maturity?

Thank you!
