I’m always looking for new ways to be able to add more trim work into my life!.
These onions re-grow really easily, so don’t worry about it too much, just eyeball it!This batch had already been growing for about a week and had already been harvested once.
I just decided on a whim to share this fun idea with you so that’s why you can see that the old parts had started to dry out already.. Place your green onions in a glass of cool water, filling it up so that it just covers the white parts of the onion.. And that’s it!No fertilizers or rooting hormone needed for this!Place the glass on a counter near a window and watch in amazement at how fast they grow!.
Within a few days you’ll have something that looks like this:.The pieces that you cut off will start with dry out so that they aren’t taking any energy from the new shoots and the roots will grow like crazy!.
Change the water out every 2 or 3 days to keep things fresh and happy and harvest your green onions whenever you need them for a salad or a recipe.. Once you have a good root system going, you can go ahead and plant them in your garden or in a pot on the patio if you like and if it’s the right time of year!
There are quite a few different things that you buy at the grocery store that you can re-grow at home, but this one is the easiest that I’ve come across so far, so of course it’s my favorite!.I use it for adding some seasonal cheer at the entrance that we use most, and for muddy shoes of course, but that’s about it..
I dream of filling it up with built-ins and hooks and benches and all that goodness sometime in the future, but for now what we have is a little drop zone inside our kitchen..I love looking at the boring functional parts of peoples’ houses so I thought I’d show you ours today!.
Chris installed this wall o’ hooks pretty quickly after we moved in here last Summer.. It’s the perfect place to casually hang your beach bag after a day in the sun.. Or grab your purse on the way out the door to go shopping..The bench is a great place to keep your mosaic lantern handy.. Of course, it’s always good to have a bucket of burlap ready to go for when you need to head out to the garden and wrap your hedges in the Fall and Winter..
