In the beginning....were green onions II





If you save the very tip and the roots you can replant them. In the first photo, in a bowl of water for a day, the onion is already starting to grow out from the center again. You can also cut just the greens, but I like the white stem also. They'll get as large as oh, a little larger than a quarter in diameter if you let them grow long enough.

Oh, and here's a poem for good measure...

The Red Wheelbarrow

William Carlos Williams


so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.
