      Yes , each clove will grow a bulb . The bigger clove/bigger bulb   
   thing is true , seen it in my own garden . I just hadda try it ...

      I buy bulbs from the farm store in the spring/early summer and store   
   them in a drawer in the fridge . I've had some viable after a year ...   
   maybe 35%-45% grew . Try planting your green onions in a largish pot   
   (think maybe sapling size) out on your deck/porch etc . Pluck one and   
   stick another bulb from the fridge in the hole - or the root end (1/4   
   inch) of the one you just pulled . Get a rotation going and you'll have   
   fresh green onions forever . I get lazy/busy and let the rotation die   
   out and then have to start all over .
