spring onions have never been a thing here in Wales shallots are either harvested young for salads or left to mature for the bulbs (but that's not such a big thing) it ws the green leaves that were the essential salad ingredients and in later years my grandfather would just treat much of his shallots as a 'cut and come again' crop which later on would still develop good bulbs for pickling.
There were also plenty of chives in the garden margins.
