Regrowing Scallions
Last month, my cousin Kathy told me about re-growing scallions by putting the white ends in water near a sunny windowsill, I have been telling everyone I know about this amazing trick! It's so easy, everyone has to try it! It's like a never ending supply of scallions and incredibly sustainable. I love it! My friend Jason happily showed me his bunch of scallions that he re-grew.
He told me that it takes about week in a very sunny window to re-grow all this! This is absolutely the most fun and best experiment ever! Why have I never known about this before? I can't wait to try to re-grow celery by sticking the bottom crown in soil to try to re-grow it. Have you every tried it before? Were you successful?

I have scallions in a glass by the kitchen window. I've never done it before and they've only been there about 4-5 days but they are growing.
ReplyDeleteI am assuming that there is water in the cup. Is that right? How often do you need to change the water?
ReplyDeleteI'm buying scallions tomorrow for a recipe and will try this too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you reminded me about this - I totally forgot and just composted some scallion tips! I have more in the fridge, so I'll try this with them.
ReplyDeleteI luv neat little tricks like that
ReplyDeleteI am just doing the same thing! I also planted them in the garden last fall - surprisingly, they survive this winter (I live in MA)!
ReplyDeleteDo they perennial???

This is an amazing idea. Do you think they could be transplanted outside?
ReplyDeleteI did the same experiment with green onions. My husband is always buying them to use in his recipes - we we threw some into a glass of water. Within a week, we had more to cut! We eventually potted them in soil - and they are multiplying. Yay!
ReplyDeleteVERY smart idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very effective and cost saving method. I have tried this in the past and was extremely successful. Thank you so much for sharing.
