Growing Green Onions - Day 2

Green Onions are Ryan's favorite "garnish" I guess you'd say.  Between Green Onions, Cholula, and Crushed Red Pepper he can make any meal that much better.  :)

The problem is that I always forget to buy Green Onions and when I do, I forget I have them and Ryan will miss them under other things in the fridge and ultimately they go bad.

Then, I saw this on Pinterest recently and really got excited that my attempts at being the best wife ever would take a giant leap forward.  Really?!? You can just take the root ends, stick them in some water and the Green Onions start regrowing?  No Way!

So we had Cajun Chicken Pasta on Friday night and Steak and Baked Potatoes on Sunday night and I actually remembered to buy Green Onions for Ryan.  After I chopped off the last good parts on Sunday, I put the ends in a small cup of water.  Ryan saw it a little later and wondered if I was crazy.

Then, I checked them out today... just day 2... and the roots are longer and there is new growth popping out.  This might really work???

The original blogger said she'd gone through about 4 rounds on the same set of onions... as Ryan said tonight "how come everyone doesn't know this?"

I guess I'll add this to my reasons to love Pinterest and Blogging!
