Forever Onion Greens

My daughter recently commented to me, "Mom, have you heard of forever onion greens yet?"
My curiosity aroused I answered her in the negative and waited for her explanation.

This is obviously for those of us who are not blessed with our own vegetable gardens or a trick saved for cold winter months, but I learned that a bunch of onion greens can keep on giving long after they would  if we keep  doing what we usually do  -- put them in the crisper drawer of our refrigerator until they are either used them up or thrown  out.

Instead, you will find that your onion greens if placed in a glass of water (with a little added sugar)  will just keep on growing !
Somewhat sceptical I pulled out a bunch of onion greens that had been in my fridge for probably a week and stuck them in water and placed the glass near a window but not direct sun.
To my amazement stocks started to grow, and grow quickly !  I could literally see them grow !

Keep picking them  off as you need them -- change the water if it gets cloudy and add a little fresh sugar!

I had to think of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with two loaves and five fishes --  and then the miraculous 12 baskets of left overs!
I'm not sure you will get 12 baskets of left overs from one purchased bunch of onion greens ... but... I suppose it depends on how green your thumb is !  smile
