Don’t throw away those green onion ends. Want to do the easiest thing ever? Pop them in water and watch them grow. We love green onions in this house! If I can find an excuse to throw them in to any meal, I will take it. I’ve been on a growing spree since we moved in. I got an awesome Aloe Vera from one of the big box stores. Since I’ve been inspired to grow or rather re-grow useful plants. So far I just have the Aloe, Green Onions and Peppermint. (More coming on the Peppermint)
I love the idea of only having to buy a herb or plant once, but not having to commit too much space to grow it on my own. I have plans to try re-growing celery, cilantro and romaine lettuce as well. I’m trying to find a happy balance between plants and family. I have a lot on my plate on a daily basis, so I need easy and low impact. There has to be a way to cut down on such astronomical food prices. I’m determined to find the way.
We were all surprised by how quickly they re-grew! After only one night in water they were already sprouting. You can clearly see the cat is beside himself over their rapid growth.
Day 4 reveals great progress. I think I will give them a few more days until I cut them and then start the process all over again. Now the biggest question is: “What’s for dinner?”
