A Green Idea!

You never know what I'm going to post! I love to live green any chance I get. My husband and I are also big fans of eating green. We love green onions! Here's a money saving green tip that you just might love. We only buy green onions once a year. I am a gardener, but my biggest peeve is how long it takes for some veggies to mature, onions are a big offender, so I cheat :0) When you go to the grocery store to buy green onions pick up a bag of potting soil too. The green onions you pick up usually have the little baby white onion still at the bottom. Find a bundle that have good little roots going strong. When you get home from grocery shopping prep a spot in the garden or use a planter, you can do this whether you live in a house or apartment. Cut off the green onions you plan to use. Save the bottoms and plant them! Those beautiful little onions are still alive! They will start growing and you can usually harvest within just a week or so. With very little maintenance these little guys will keep growing strong! So take a little time, save some green, eat some green and keep anything out of the landfill you can! Till next time...
