Wow, so after many months of not blogging I am back. My first nursing job didn't leave me much time or energy left after my shifts, so I kind of let this go. I recently switched jobs, hello 3 12's, and I am finally starting to remember what it felt like to have a life again. Thus my reappearance. My first post back is about food. I post a lot about food. One, because I love food, but also because it is one thing we all cannot live without.
Since it is spring, even the Pacific Northwest is getting more sunny days, it is the ideal time to do some gardening, whether it be in the backyard or your kitchen windowsill. If you aren't an avid gardener, that is okay. Regrow It is simply about taking your food scraps and setting them up to regrow more food for you. And it really couldn't be more simple.
Today let's talk green onions, those flavorful little guys that we can do so much with. If only we had them on hand all of the time. Well, now when you buy one bunch, you can have a self-replenishing supply on hand. Just follow these steps.
 |
| After slicing up the onoin, take the remainder of the onion, as shown above. |
 |
| Place the 1-2 inch portion into a container, and fill with just enough water to saturate the roots. Adding too much will cause the bulb and stalk to get soggy. Place in a sunny location. |
 |
| After a few days, maybe less, you will see new growth. |
 |
| Until they are gigantic! |
 |
| You can also plant them in dirt if you prefer. After a while, the bulbs do get soggy in a cup of water, so if you do not want to use dirt, using rocks in the cup to keep the water away from the bulb is a good option. |
To use these onions, cut them just as you did the first time and replace in the water. If you planted them in dirt, you can snip them straight from the garden and they will continue to regrow. Stay tuned for future Regrow It vegetables. Happy planting.
