Granny, Did you tell me on the last thread that you had cut the roots off onions from the store and planted just the roots?

You did tell me about planting a whole onion and coming up with 4 onions every time but the onions I have are good and I want to use them... Although I can plant some also. I was just thinking you’d gotten a whole onion by planting only the roots.

Yes, that is what I have read a couple times, and I had a root, so put it in a plastic bag and it did show green growing in the center, just a commons brown store onion.

There might have been a quarter of an inch of onion on the root.

The half onion in the refrig also was growing green leaves, after being in their for a month or so.

I didn’t get to plant them, as the oxygen hose does not reach and I can’t bend over to mess with dirt and pots, too difficult to breathe.

I once had a page that said you could do the same with celery and I never had a chance to try it.
