Put every dang onion into the ground

with this neat-o method I found-
You cut the root section out with a small knife, or just outline the root section, cut the onion in half from the top about two thirds and snap it in two. Then, you take out the root section with the very middle part.
Then you stick the roots section in dirt (I do it in a container with a mini rose bush most often.)
About fifty percent of the time it takes and you get green onion out of the deal.

| I got a bunch of the bottoms of green onions from a restaurant where I worked. They just threw them away. I now have lots and lots of green onions. I also have a couple pineapple plants that I started from pineapple tops that they just threw away. |

| Most onions are easy to grow, and make more onions easily. The problem is that after many years you have onions growing all over and you can't possibly use them all. However, you feel guilty if you try to kill some onion plants so you can grow something else in one of the 97 places you have them growing. Marcia |
