Taking Root

I am very happy to announce that I now a six pack of green onions sprouting in the garden. I had done some reading awhile back about how simple it is to grow them.

First, purchased some green onions from the store.
Second, cut off the bottoms about two inches up.
Third, set them in a container of water, place in the frig for two weeks.
Fourth, checked the Farmers Almanac's http://www.farmersalmanac.com/home_garden/gardening best days to plant onions.
Fifth, planted them in the garden about two inches deep.

Unexpectedly within three days, I had an onion sprout from the ground.

When the green onions get to be about a foot or so tall, you just trim them down, and they will regrow again.

Happy Planting!
