I took my green onions, i bought from the store, and just put them outside in the soil that was in my yard, which is mostly sand, and they grew just fine.
I took one slimy green onion out of my fridge 34 years ago, that wasn't fit to eat + planted it. It grew. I only harvested the greens, allowing it to go to seed. I haven't bought a green onion since. Each time we've moved, I always bring a few with and plant them. In winter, Lincoln NE, I can go out when there's a foot of snow on the ground and harvest. My favorite plant the green onion. Mine are called walking Egyptian onions.
@@litledevel15 Been growing them 34 yrs. They reseed. I never eat as many as I grow. In fact, when I do need green onions for a recipe I cut the onion just above the roots leaving it in the ground to continue growing. They regrow greens.
@@badassmother1426 Hi, Since you have 34 years of experience, I thought it best to ask a pro! I've only just started to grow some of these from some of my store bought cuttings. How do you get the plant to seed? do you have to leave the plant to mature without harvesting at all?
one of my favorite kinds of videos is people being excited about something they do, and I love hearing how much love you have for these lil plants, also I love the recap at the end
I planted some a little over a week ago and noticed they had doubled in size in just 2 days- I couldn’t believe it ‘cause I don’t have a green thumb!! Thanks for the super tips!!
my elementary school grounds had a mud puddle up by the road and behind a utility closet that had green onions growing in it. Or maybe they were a wild related plant. There was yellow rings inside near the roots. Used to love just going and grabbing them and munching on them. Teachers would get so mad at that for whatever reason. No don't eat the free wild onions!!! But coming from a poorer background they made for a nice supplemental snack. Last year my service dog lost her battle with cancer and this month I've been slowly recovering finally by going back into gardening like when I was a little kid and tonight I picked up some green onions in order to grow my own. Haven't been able to go back to my elementary school grounds in years so I couldn't just go harvest those ones. They're not the same but this comforts me anyways. Thank you for making a little video that shows where to cut them and how much water and when to switch out the water and when to plant them. Appreciate it.
I recently got a few fancy single-serving yogurts that come in a glass jar and am so glad I washed them out to reuse them. They’re the perfect width and height for green onions. Not as wide as a typical mason jar so the green onion doesn’t tip over into the water.
I'm on some chronic medications and save my empty pill bottles. Not sure about the plastic, but it's only for 2 weeks or so and they're the perfect size
He's spot on! I threw a white 1 inch chute in water placed in the window sill. After the first new root (3 days) the chute took off with a second leaf within a week.
There's something truly amazing about edible plants that are basically unkillable. I didn't even know about the water-only phase and i've still been getting decent growth for years. Also love mint for the same reason!
I was making a grocery list for meals and realized I wanted some green onions. But then I remembered that you can grow ur own so I looked into it a bit and found this video. It was very entertaining, informative, and straightforward. My family has a small garden going already so I plan to cut the stems off the batch I plan to buy and start growing them myself. Thanks for the video!
Just started growing them 6 weeks ago. They are turning out well. I just had this spontaneous thought of saving the white ends and throwing them in a pot with dirt and coffee grounds and in 2 mins I was done. No problems what so ever.
This is the BEST green onion video I've seen yet. I love this. So thorough and so well-done. I will need to watch a few times just to make sure I don't miss any details. My family spends hundreds of dollars buying green onions bc we love them too. It is high time to stop wasting all that money. I'm finally going to grown them. My first Garden this year. 4.26.2024.
It was the first plant in my garden. My gf doesn't like "regular" onion but she does like spring onion. And she came up with the idea to regrow them in a glass of water and I kept on paying attention to the way they grew back but at one point they started to not really do so well and rot and everything. And then I planted them in the garden and suddenly they started to grow a lot faster and get really big. Now we do it every time we get spring onion: we put them in a glass of water for a week and plant them directly into our garden. Until they are literally everywhere in the garden. And her mother gave me a whole giant pack of seeds for different vegetables. Among them were also spring onions but I don't think I'll need the seeds for those, I have an endless supply of regrown ones.
Since reading about the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties of green onions, I've started eating them with everything! Awesome video, this will ensure constant supply!
great video! thanks so much for the advice! i've had my green onions growing in the water for about a week, and i'm super excited to know that i'm on the right track. i can't wait to get these guys planted
I started red onions in water and then planted them in soil, initially outside, now indoors. Despite it being the winter, they appear vigorous, regardless of the actual width of the onion bulb or segment thereof. I've been hesitant to cut the onion greens for eating because of a worry of toxoplasmosis, but I've decided to throw caution to the wind. They're tasty, that's for sure.
Great video! I decided to shorten the water-soaking stage by planting the cuttings in a pot after a couple of days. I gently tied the cuttings to wooden skewers with some stretchy garden tape so that they could be planted at the correct height without falling over. When they are rooted and growing, I'll remove the skewers. The skewers (about the size of a chopstick) are ideal, but I found even a wooden toothpick will work in a pinch - tied to the cutting, it goes deeper into the soil to keep the cutting upright during watering. If you get Chinese takeout, you could use the freebie chopsticks.
Thank you so much for this video! I followed these steps this spring, and I haven't had to buy green onions in months (and hopefully never again)! They thrive even when I don't water em. I hope they survive my zone 7 winter!
LOL at it again - learning that is😄. I've always had great luck regrowing green onions, and do harvest them for the green tops, but I am always disappointed that they don't grow into full sized onions! You kindly showed me the error of my thinking💚
Came across your video I learned something valuable today Thank you I pickle green onions with ACV and Himalayan salt I incorporate them in my diet Helps my microbiome Thank you again for all the wisdom
Love this! Thank you. I cannot believe how expensive scallions have gotten. I used to get them at the Asian market and they were as cheap as $1 for 3 bundles. Last time I saw it was $1.69 per bundle!!! For scallions!!!! I am definitely going to grow my own now that I see how simple and abundant it can be. I am an avid user of scallions and could kick myself for not looking into growing them myself earlier. Thank you for this very helpful tutorial.
Are you from Canada too? I was a the Farmboy and bought 2 bunches of green onions. The cashier charged me for one bundle. So I told here there were 2 of them. She didn't beliveve me and checked. She was surprised. I was as well. 1/3 the bundle size. They're normally about $1.29 during the summer months. But lately, they've been about $1.99 a bundle on average. Small, sad looking bundles
@@janem3575 I'm from the US. Produce, as well as everything else, has increased in price. Scallions are used in almost all Chinese cooking. It's a must. So shocked to see such a simple aromatic be so expensive. And you're right, price has increased and the bundles decreased. So sad.
@@carolsze6559 I know, our govt has asked one of our largest grocery chains, Loblaw Inc., to account at an inquiry over grocery store pricing and record profits. But, I don't think we've ever had green onions @ 3/$1.00. The cheapest I've seen was 3/$2.00 before the pandemic. I have to say, the ones we get from our Quebec neighbors are the best tasting. I like the long skinny kind. The ones that come from Mexico are stouter and have a bitterness to them
Chives and green onions are fantastic and super easy to grow. I already have a full freezer bag of chives, and my 2 pots are still producing like crazy. My green onions are also producing but only half a freezer bag because I ate the rest :D Best thing is, they'll come back year after year.
A very helpful video. I stared with green onions just 2 weeks ago and I love it how fast they grow and look so healthy. It is my first time planting something, so I need some materials to keep them growing. ❤
I love a great science experiment!!! So cool to see the reflection of your grow lights in the small jars of water. Lots of live and learn gardening last year. 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
Well I've done this and seen this before but you do such an excellent job explaining and showing I missed a couple things through other videos thank you
Thank you so much! I just tried this and since I stay in a shaded area, I placed it on my porch where the sun is. I hope I get something but if not, it was worth a try. I want to start planting vegetables that I love 😊
My great grandfather was a farmer and used to eat raw green onion with salt. My grandfather was a navy veteran and farmer and still eats green onion with salt. My Father enjoys it too. Now I've become addicted myself to the green onion and salt tradition lol. 4 generations.
Memories from my childhood. My grandma would give me a green onion, and a tiny plate with salt, tap the onion before biting it. Now i still love green onions, but i dont use salt, i prefer to taste them at fullest, and i leave the salty bit to be a main course. But to each their own, i am in minority for never seasoning my salads, i would put tomatoes, cucumber and green onion in a bowl and not add anything, and everyone i know likes to add salt, vinegar and olive oil.
Thanks so much. A friend suggested I do this, bought two bags of onions today and I’m glad I looked here for an expert opinion. I’d have just put them in the dirt. Now I know. God bless you!
OK, got them going in water, planted into pots on deck and they have grown 8 inches very quickly. The one thing I noticed is how nice and dark green your tops are. Currently mine are just a light green. I have a soil mix (soil, peat, vermiculite, manure) that I use for my gardens that works great, this is what I used for planting the scallions but they don't have that deep green color on the top part of the plant. Maybe a dose of some fertilizer heavy on the nitrogen? Great video by the way.
I just love your Winterpeg Jets cap.You must live in Winterpeg, Manitoba. Great city eh". Too bad the Jets cannot get beyond the first round in the playoffs. Perhaps in 20 years time like the Leafs. Great video.
Fortunately I do not! Although I caught White Noise fever in the 90's, the Oilers have always been my team. I was in elementary school during the Gretzky/Messier years...it was a great time to be a kid! I live in Victoria, BC. 🙂
when I buy a few bunches here they always have nice roots. Now , after cutting the green parts off and put the lower part with roots in a small jar with some water , I am waiting for the new green leaves to come. I love them in miso soup and more asian dishes. Thanks for the info. I hope it works.
Happy sunshine morning! Adventure Time! I snagged one of my husband's G.O and wanted to see what would happen if I put it straight into soil and (we call em Phillip) Phill stated growing faster then I thought! Within 2 days, Phillip is bigger then original stalk I started from! So I had to jump on this fun adventure and see what I started lol thank you so much for all this helpful information. Now that I know the proper steps lol Phillip will be legendary! I'm excited for the next plant! I'm going to go see if you have any videos on garlic lol it started sprouting on the counter! Lol!
awesome and I need to try this! I am growing saffron and elephant garlic in raised containers so this is a great idea. How would I water newly transplanted green onions in a large raised container?
Wow, this is amazing! I love green onions and I'm so excited to start! Do you have any videos on other low maintenance easy to grow veggies? Thank you..I am one step closer to having some control what goes in my body! ❤️
I am in love with your teaching method! So clear! And I am grateful for all your time put into showing even with special video editing things up close. This is so important. Most people just “describe” with words but you do that and more! Thank you very much! I just found this video and channel. I will check the rest of your videos too. 😃🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😃
I am a beginner beginner I literally killed mint while trying to plant. I think I can manage with some green onions. I live in Africa and my soil is very sandy. I’ll be back with an update. Wish me luck 🍀 😂
Been trying this, started off because sticking green onions in water seemed to be the best way to keep them crisp, regrowing seemed to be the next logical step. I'm attempting to grow inside because I live in an apartment, unfortunately it seems like they're not getting enough light, since they're not very robust. I bought a grow light and some fertilizer, hopefully this next attempt will go better.

May I share what we do in Hawaii? We don’t pull them. We just cut them off as we need to and leave the roots or replant old dried bulbs in the ground. They grow back to full size many many times before needing to either seed more or replant new bulbs. Green onions love lots of water. They grow very fast with one year round sunshine and warm weather.
Love the wooden box. I could have my husband make me this. Did you put some screen and drill holes or how exactly will this work best? I am just beginning to try planting.
I love spring onions in salads. I use the white lower section there. That's what use you use to continuously produce leaves. How to you multiply the lower white bulb sections?
Thank you for a wonderful video! I've just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos. In Scotland we call green onions (or scallions) sybies (pronounced "sigh-bees") I already have one little pot of sybies growing happily in my kitchen. Thanks again for such an interesting video, best wishes from a rainy west coast of Scotland x
@TheRipeTomatoFarms , good video, got my onion(s) planted. I live in an apartment. Tried growing tomatoes awhile back but no luck 🫤. Hopefully onion are easier. Lol.
Hello from Melbourne Australia ❤️ I haven’t grown green onions, (we call them spring onions) this this for a while You have motivated me to do it again Thanks 🦜🦜🦜

Green onions make just about any meal better. 😍

But to each their own, i am in minority for never seasoning my salads, i would put tomatoes, cucumber and green onion in a bowl and not add anything, and everyone i know likes to add salt, vinegar and olive oil.
Best instructions ever. No other videos covered your tips.
Thanks so much. A friend suggested I do this, bought two bags of onions today and I’m glad I looked here for an expert opinion. I’d have just put them in the dirt. Now I know. God bless you!
I am so happy I found your you tube channel. I have learnt so much. Can’t wait for spring to start planting
That is so awesome Deb! Happy to have you along for the ride!
Excellent! Exactly what I needed to know! Thank you!
Cheers, best of luck!
Great video young man..says this 74 years old.. just subscribed to you.😍
Thanks henrietta! Much appreciated! :-)
OK, got them going in water, planted into pots on deck and they have grown 8 inches very quickly. The one thing I noticed is how nice and dark green your tops are. Currently mine are just a light green. I have a soil mix (soil, peat, vermiculite, manure) that I use for my gardens that works great, this is what I used for planting the scallions but they don't have that deep green color on the top part of the plant. Maybe a dose of some fertilizer heavy on the nitrogen? Great video by the way.
I just love your Winterpeg Jets cap.You must live in Winterpeg, Manitoba. Great city eh". Too bad the Jets cannot get beyond the first round in the playoffs. Perhaps in 20 years time like the Leafs. Great video.
Fortunately I do not! Although I caught White Noise fever in the 90's, the Oilers have always been my team. I was in elementary school during the Gretzky/Messier years...it was a great time to be a kid! I live in Victoria, BC. 🙂
when I buy a few bunches here they always have nice roots. Now , after cutting the green parts off and put the lower part with roots in a small jar with some water , I am waiting for the new green leaves to come. I love them in miso soup and more asian dishes. Thanks for the info. I hope it works.
Lovee the detail in your tips! Thank you! 🩷
Great video. Thanks! Off to get my scallions in the refrigerator.
Very usefullll, I can finally start my gardening journey 🥰
I did this few weeks ago. Now going to do it again
Hey fellow Canadian, thank you for your gardening tips. I am excited to grow green onions this year! I am in Hamilton :)
Takk!
Thanks you so much!!
Happy sunshine morning! Adventure Time! I snagged one of my husband's G.O and wanted to see what would happen if I put it straight into soil and (we call em Phillip) Phill stated growing faster then I thought! Within 2 days, Phillip is bigger then original stalk I started from! So I had to jump on this fun adventure and see what I started lol thank you so much for all this helpful information. Now that I know the proper steps lol Phillip will be legendary! I'm excited for the next plant! I'm going to go see if you have any videos on garlic lol it started sprouting on the counter! Lol!
awesome and I need to try this! I am growing saffron and elephant garlic in raised containers so this is a great idea. How would I water newly transplanted green onions in a large raised container?
Wow, this is amazing! I love green onions and I'm so excited to start! Do you have any videos on other low maintenance easy to grow veggies? Thank you..I am one step closer to having some control what goes in my body! ❤️
loved this! This was your first video I watched, and I subscribed to it! Don't know about that Jets hat....Rangers 4 Life!
@@StephenNiedzwiecki ha ha fair play on the Rangers... Anyone but Florida!
I can't wait to try. Thank you for being so detailed 😊
I am in love with your teaching method! So clear! And I am grateful for all your time put into showing even with special video editing things up close. This is so important. Most people just “describe” with words but you do that and more! Thank you very much! I just found this video and channel. I will check the rest of your videos too. 😃🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😃

Wow, this is amazing, I love cooking with green onions. 😍
Me too! Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video.
GO KINGS GO.
I am a beginner beginner I literally killed mint while trying to plant. I think I can manage with some green onions. I live in Africa and my soil is very sandy. I’ll be back with an update. Wish me luck 🍀 😂
Lovely, thank you sooooooooo much! I will be moving to a tropical island in the near future, and I do want to know how to plant these things.
Great video, great voice, thanks!
Been trying this, started off because sticking green onions in water seemed to be the best way to keep them crisp, regrowing seemed to be the next logical step. I'm attempting to grow inside because I live in an apartment, unfortunately it seems like they're not getting enough light, since they're not very robust. I bought a grow light and some fertilizer, hopefully this next attempt will go better.
U can get special light bulbs for inside growing

I bought all of that stuff. My plants still die.
I'd like a nice watering can, but guess I'll keep using the gallon water jug that I just poked holes in using an old ice pick. Maybe some day💖
Very excited to start doing this!
Never buy them again! :-)
Thank you so much for this very detailed video. I will try this soon. Blessings 💖 🙏🏾
Cheers Audrey, thanks so much for watching! 🙂
Glad i found your video on replanting 👍thanks 👍
Cheers, happy to help!
Jeff, lost hydro and internet for 8days(ice storm). Great to be back for more.
What, no way Jim! Sorry to hear. Hope everything (and everyone) is doing ok. 🙂
thank you, really loved this video.
Thanks Kim, appreciate the kind words and support!
Wonderful educational video!
This video's so thorough, glad I watched it. Bonus, you seem to be a Jets fan :D
Very informative video thanks!
Cheers, thanks for watching! :-)
I love your gardening
May I share what we do in Hawaii? We don’t pull them. We just cut them off as we need to and leave the roots or replant old dried bulbs in the ground. They grow back to full size many many times before needing to either seed more or replant new bulbs. Green onions love lots of water. They grow very fast with one year round sunshine and warm weather.
Love the wooden box. I could have my husband make me this. Did you put some screen and drill holes or how exactly will this work best? I am just beginning to try planting.
Very informative, thank you! So around what time can you start watering 'from above'?
I love spring onions in salads. I use the white lower section there. That's what use you use to continuously produce leaves. How to you multiply the lower white bulb sections?
Thank you for a wonderful video! I've just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos. In Scotland we call green onions (or scallions) sybies (pronounced "sigh-bees") I already have one little pot of sybies growing happily in my kitchen. Thanks again for such an interesting video, best wishes from a rainy west coast of Scotland x
Awesome hat!👍🏾
@@erickrgarcia thanks!
@TheRipeTomatoFarms , good video, got my onion(s) planted. I live in an apartment. Tried growing tomatoes awhile back but no luck 🫤. Hopefully onion are easier. Lol.
