the spring onion trick

[mickeymoose]

I'm not sure I understand where you are cutting and what you are planting. A photo would be brilliant but, failing that - are you just planting the very bottom bit with the roots on, i.e. the part I normally discard? So I could buy a bunch of spring onions, trim off the roots with just the very bottom of the white part, eat the onion, and plant the root?

Hi mitzi.
just leave an inch of the bottom of onion with the roots left on.
They will no grow as fast this time of year but they will grow

I do the same with Bacon. I put the empty packaging in the fridge and within a week it's regrown with fresh bacon.

Are you telling porkies

Sounds like a good tip - like most everything else I grow I have good years and bad with Spring Onions. Will give this a go.

I tried growing Welsh (bunching) onions (once)

Hi baldy
The welsh bunching onion goes to seed and a bit mild the best bunching onion in my oplnion is Allium cepa perutile which never hardly ever goes to seed
I grow as well
