Winter vegs! Leeks grow amazingly in the cold and dark days. I did the greenhouse thing once before, yummy greens all winter. I just cut them and let them regrow.
Or you could plant them outdoors for early spring, baby leeks.
Or I guess you could eat themselves too. I think I would try them if I had a huge surplus. (bigger patch, need a bigger patch.... )
I divided some perennial green onions that had bulbed too. This variety is great, they divide readily and flower not-as-readily, especially if you cut and come again. These flowered mid-summerish and in plenty of time to regrow another set of greens and divide before fall. I had no idea they were bulbers as well, until I dug em up.
