Green Onion Update



My green onion adventure is going really well. Pictured above is the bunch that I planted last week. I have also grown a second set of onions that still need to be planted, and I have just started growing a third batch.  With three sets of green onions growing on my kitchen window sill, all at different stages, I should have enough to keep up with the demand (we typically eat two bunches a week).

My grocery store sells bunches of green onions for $.68 each. This is a savings of $1.36 per week, or $70.72 per year. And, the side benefit is that I have something green and alive hanging out in my kitchen. With this success, I have some other indoor produce that I would like to try, but I will keep my plans a surprise lest my black thumb reappears!

Need some recipes for those green onions? Try one of these:
