Never run out of fresh green onions again!
Growing fresh green salad onions - take the cut end (root side) and plant it in a pot or directly in your garden, give it some time and voila! You have fresh (and free!) onions at your disposal. This will work for a variety of different onions and the beauty of this tip is that as you use the onions, you replant the cut root ends to grow more.
You can use a tub just for onions and haul it indoors during winter months (will need lots of sun) or if it’s just green onions you’re interested in growing, a large flower pot will do.

I did this in the fall and saw them start to grow! We love salad onions and even though they aren't too expensive to buy it's wonderful to always have fresh ones on hand that didn't cost a anything! Our chives keep growing and growing all year round (haven't lost them from frost...yet...this year) and I just cut the tops off to use. If you lay the washed chives out flat on a cookie sheet, then freeze for a few hours, they can then be placed in a baggie to keep in the freezer to use as needed. I just use a pair of scissors to snip off what I need to put on baked potatoes or in the scrambled eggs, it thaws immediately. Return right away to the freezer to keep frozen and crispy.
