Spring onions that I grew from seeds resemble toothpicks for almost 2-3 months through winter. They usually "thicken up" when the weather warms up and I find after I cut the leaves (and use in my cooking), the new leaves get thicker (as thick as the one you buy) and they keep coming back.

Good to know! I'm in a cool climate (Victoria) and I've grown some from seed and they also look like spindly toothpicks... Thanks for sharing.
