There's a picture of a "garden" bucket in the article, with an obviously just bought fresh onion on top of the dirt. I guess to communicate its "garden"-ness.
I cant help but wonder, if its OK to stage small details like that to be more favorable to the narrative, ... where is the line drawn?
The owner of the bucket could have taken that photo when it was new. Can imagine posting that on social media "just made my first garden bucket!", or having a series of photos from points in time to show the progress
That onion has clearly sprouted a lot, so perhaps it's a seed onion? It's not uncommon to buy small seed onions and plant them so they'll get bigger (although I personally don't see the point, and would grow small bunching onions instead). In this case it's probably just an old onion that sat in a bag too long and sprouted, so they decided to plant it.
It's not a "just-bought" onion. What grocery store sells an onion with an eight inch sprout coming out of it? At least in the U.S. such an onion would be unsellable, which is why I think they found this one in a bag somewhere and decided to plant it.
Are we looking at the same photos here? It's clearly not a green onion. It has a large round bulb on the bottom that's more than two inches wide. Green onions / scallions do not look like that. You can see that in the very image you just linked.
