Kitchen Tip - Regrowing Your Scallions

Whenever I buy green onions at the store, I think of them as a tiny investment.  They are a wonderful cut-&-come-again food that can easily be grown inside.  I bought some recently and planted them so I can have perpetual onion-y goodness in my windowsill.  

They are extremely low maintenance plants to regrow.  When you are buying them, look for the bunch with the longest roots.  Use the green parts as you would, but reserve the bottom two inches to plant into potting mix or compost enhanced soil.  Keep a little of the stalk above the soil level - about half an inch.  Water it regularly, don't let the soil dry out completely, and you're on your way to your second cutting of green onions!
