I read or heard somewhere that if you plant the root end of a green onion, it would grow. I’m delighted to find that something I would normally throw away can grow food—even in a small garden (No I don’t compost, though I’ve read about putting earthworms in a plastic sweater box with holes drilled in it, to put under the kitchen sink. Nope, I’m not bringing worms into our home)! It's growing edible green leaves but I don't know if the white part below is growing. I'll likely keep cutting off the greens for cooking and let the plant stay to produce more.
It seems our cold snap is over; the common saying according to the weatherman is that you can’t plant anything until after tax day. Well hallelujah, today is our extended tax day and I’m glad to be done with it; now I have one more reason! Soon, I’ll be planting the outdoor garden in earnest. Stay tuned.
