     of course!  but you may not know what the results   
   will be until you grow them out.   
      
     i don't mind, we've got many different kinds of   
   alliums here and i'm happy if they do cross and   
   something comes of it that will survive and give us   
   food in return.   
      
     to me that is the whole reason i planted a bunch   
   of seeds last late summer to see what would survive   
   the winter.  my onion rows from those are doing ok   
   some are starting to bulb now so those are going to   
   be food.  only one looks to be flowering.  not   
   enough seeds from those.  oh well, it may be fun   
   next year after i leave some of these to grow and   
   survive the winter.  if they don't then they're not   
   a good onion for us to continue growing.   
      
     in past years i've had many thousands of onion   
   seeds.  so many that i buried them pretty deeply as   
   i could not plant them all and didn't want them to   
   sprout.
