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.

Taking advantage of a bit of sunshine, earlier this afternoon, I harvested the last of my carrots, a few parsnips and leeks. I carried them up the allotment to my car. A passer-by was amazed that I was "still getting produce" - he could see what was in the trug. I avoided responding that I was about to get my other trug full of strawberries and plums.
Sensibly, at 7 degrees, the bees were indoors - maybe [as I am now] armed with a rewarding cup of tea 😉
