Lately I’ve been growing green onions from seed, and honestly, it’s one of the easiest and most reliable things I’ve grown. They don’t take up much space, handle containers really well, and even with just a few hours of direct sun they keep growing back after every cut.

What surprised me most is how forgiving they are. I sow them fairly close together, keep the soil evenly moist, and just trim what I need for cooking. A few weeks later, they’re ready again. No special care, no fuss.

Here a simple and practical video guide:

Good reminder of the possibilities.  I've grown green onions from the bases of store-bought bunches so I know this works.  Now I'm planning these, plus baby spinach and rocket grown in self wicking containers using ice-cream boxes (what a sacrifice, having to eat the ice cream first).  
 
If we don't do the shopping, we won't have anything for dinner. And I've invited this tiny ad:
