Here's a handy tip that I learned a few months ago (I want to say that I read it in Natural Home & Garden magazine, but I honestly can't remember where I first saw it). Did you know that you can extend the life of store bought green onions so that one single bunch will last for months?
These green onions that I purchased back in November are still bright, green and tasty! All you have to do is place the bulb end into a container of fresh water and keep it somewhere sunny. You can keep snipping off the tops and they will continue to grow back over and over again. I change the water in my mason jar about once a week, and they're still going strong after all these weeks. I have no idea how long they are actually supposed to last, but these don't seem like they're going to stop growing any time soon - super cheap and easy peasy!

I just started doing this in my moms kitchen and they are hooked on it, It would be cool to do with different jars and half them grow at different levels so you have onions whenever you need them.
Oh BTW, I saw this on pinterest
Ah brilliant! I have some sad ones in my fridge...i wonder if I can bring them back to life! Thanks for sharing!
How funny, I JUST learned about this the other day and was in the process of re-growing my onions and taking pictures to blog :) lol

This is awesome! I love green onions, but I hate buying them, and to be honest I almost always forget to buy them. This is perfect, I absolutely going to do this next time.
This is sooo cool! Thank you for sharing- I had no idea this was possible! Keeping this one in my head for sure! Thanks!
