The Green Onion Project part 1.

experiment with my onion plant - #1

After doing a lot of research today online I found that the green onion or scallion type onion can be regrown. They said to let the plant grow to minimum of 6 inches and then cut about 1/2 an inch above the bulb to regrow.

So I had a couple that were slight over 6 inches about the soil line and I cut them. I smell like onions now, but that's ok.

I then took these three tiny plants and put them back in the soil to see if they will regrow.

Somehow I had trouble with keeping the tiny roots intact, but I'll attempt this test nonetheless.  I still have a small cluster of onions that I will let grow further so if these fail I'll still have some healthy onions growing.

I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. Also, I forgot to mention I placed these in a larger container.

I then took the small scallions I had cut off, rinsed them and put them in the refrigerator for the night. I'm not sure if that's what I was supposed to do with them, but who knows. Maybe I should let them dry out.

I'll have to do some more research.

Here goes.

update on my two basjoos!

There is snow on the ground today, but my basjoos are doing well indoors.
Actually most of today it has been around 68 degrees in my sunroom.

These are a couple pictures I took today to show their growth.

This is my Basjoo #2. It seems like it finally got comfortable in its pot, grew some roots and now is getting ready to grow a leaf.  If you recall I did a video a couple days ago and there was a hint of a sprout there, but now it is very easy to see the growth.

This is my basjoo #1. You can clearly to see the small leaf trying to grow. Now that my second plant is also well established lets see which one grows faster.

my garden has grown. VIDEO
