This is one of the best secrets from the Budget Savvy Diva kitchen 
This trick will save you money ( well only if you use Spring Onions in your cooking 
)
What To Do
Use the Spring Onions in a recipe like you would normally ( leave about 2 inches of stem) do BUT do not throw away the blubs.
Throw these bad boys in a small jar with water covering up the roots and that is it!
The onion will keep on growing back – simply clip what you need. Leave the onions where it will get some natural light.
Remember to change out the water every three days. The roots continue to grow so you might have to upgrade what jar you use to a larger one.

Do you just keep them on the counter or refrigerate?
you leave them on the counter
This works in an EarthBox as well. I have two that are full of onions. I live in Florida so they grow year round. I harvest them with kitchen shears. I cut them just at the dirt’s surface and more will grow back. I have had the same onion crop for about three years. I imagine you would have the same results in your regular garden as well.
AMAZING
Thank you!
!!! Great !!!
I do this during the summer with my garden. Just snip off the part I need for the recipe and leave the bulb until the end of the season. Now….what a wonderful way to bring this indoors for winter!! Love the idea~
I saw this on Pinterest a few weeks ago and have had them on my counter ever since! I love to snip a few to put in my scambled eggs in the morning or use as garnish for tacos!
ooh thank you! I love snipping these to put in my tomato soup. I actually love them for a whole of dishes really : )
This is the kind of tips I’m looking for to linkup with my EVERYTHING GARDENING linkup on Tuesday, March 26th! Here is the link to explain it: http://teachersofgoodthings.com/calling-all-gardeners/
Hope to see this linked up on Tuesday!
I started to do this about a month ago and they did grow back, but weren’t as green. Is there anything I can add to the water for some more nutrients?
For those of you with years of onion growth ;
Does the area the onions are in stink up the place ?
I started my growings about two months ago and I had to move them out side because the smell of onion took over my small kitchen
Please elaborate as to the placement of the onion.
And will it kill other veggies in the garden b/c of the acid?
