Grow green onions right on your windowsill, even while there’s snow on the ground outside. To start, cut store-bought green onions just above the white root, leaving some of the pale green portion. Cutting right at the white part will mean a longer regrowing time.
Place onions, roots down, in a small water-filled glass, and set in a sunny spot. Replace the water every 2 to 3 days; transfer to a pot if you’d like the onions to last longer. New growth should be ready to harvest after 7 days.

That’s amazing! I didn’t know you could do this.

Yes, it’s a great experiment if you want to try your hand at gardening. Please let me know if you try it and know that green onions will be able to be regrown and harvested about 3 to 5 times using this method.

I wish I had a green thumb, I think that’s what they call it! Momma did! She grew EVERY THING but meats! She’d go to a butcher shop on the north side for her meats and have it cut and packaged in white paper. If she need some when she didn’t get to the north side butcher shop she went to Moo and Onk! I think that’s how you spell it and got meat from their butcher but she never bought packages of meats from the grocery store like we do today.

Yes, it is called a “green thumb ” and sounds like you have some wonderful memories of your grandmothers’ daily task. I applaud her for shopping at the local butcher. I too visit my local butcher often, it’s kind of a bit more expensive, but it reminds me that poultry, seafood, and beef are always an addition, and never the main course.
