katiacambia asked: Re: the ask about cats- Onions are poisonous to cats, so that's something to watch out for. They don't really seem to be interested in other alliums. I know a farm cat that loves to roll in the onion greens, but never eats them, so you may be fine growing them, just be aware :) Cats also are attracted to basil- they like to pee on it, so make sure to keep that out of their reach. You can also spray a very diluted cayenne pepper and lemon oil on the plants to deter them. Happy gardening!

Right on, thanks for sending this!  There you go Allison, practical advice from someone with experience.
