DIY: growing (easy) spring onions

Lets grow food together (and save money)! Since spring is finally 
here in Holland, everything is growing and blooming in the yard! 
Even my windowsills is full of life: I'm growing my own spring 
onions! How cool is that? My friend showed me how easy it 
was and it really triggered myself to try it out.

Within the shortest times I saw the first difference because it grew!
I felt really happy that it didn't die on me and really motivated me
to continue this. Meanwhile I added the following vegetables
on the windowsill: zucchini & peppers! I can't wait to harvest
these baby's and to eat it!

Have you ever ever grown vegetables? What are you
favorite vegetables (mine: pak choi, Brussels sprouts, eggplant)

 Tools : a cup & water  STEPS: 1. Pour 1/2 water in the cup. 2. Cut 5cm from the root. 3. Place the root heads in the water and done! CARE: place it in a light area and daily watering!

  3. OMG. this is so easy even I can do it! I am going to try this. And now you've added zucchini and peppers?! You're too good. I've never grown any vegetables or fruits before, except my parents do have a pear tree in the backyard. I'm excited.

  5. Goodness gracious! It grew so fast :) I love it!
    We have everything in our backyard from eggplants, tomatoes, grapes, peaches, potatoes, and everything in between. We finally started growing cilantro.

    You should try to grow avocado, I heard its super easy!

  6. I used to grow green onions like that, when I was little. I'm currently growing strawberries, peaches, rosemary, and basil. Rosemary grows very easily and tastes good with butter on bread, so I highly recommend it. ^^

  34. I am such a bad gardener, but I think I could even try to attempt these & not mess it up!

    ReplyDelete
  35. omg, these grow so fast!! Sounds stupid but I had no idea you could just regrow spring onions by sticking the bulbs in water. I always just threw those out ><

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh I wish I could grow a garden. I'm hoping to get some hands on tips soon. I tried an herb garden and I believe the neighborhood cat ate it!

  38. I would really love to grow and tend to plants. But unfortunately, I don’t have the talent nor do I have a green thumb to luckily grow any plant at all. Good for you! They look healthy anyway. I’m sure they’d grow much healthier next week. Good luck on your project! Ciao!
