Last week I bought green onions to cut up for a salad, soup, omelet.

I cut the tops off (just the whites, no green) and put them in a glass of water. This is what happened. Now I have a sustainable source of green onions. Try it.

Thanks byonic for telling me how to post pictures on hubski and thanks to mivasairski for onion lessons.

Are you saying that all that green stuff grew up after you cut the onions? That's proper farming, right there.

I potted a grocery store basil plant and hung it near a sunny window, hoping for a sustainable source of basil.

Then we went on vacation and I forgot to water it when we came back and now it's a short-term source of dried herbs.

Yes, only the white bulbs were put in the water.

The onions come out of the air!

I keep wanting to try this with dirt in a plastic bottle (like a coke bottle) with little holes cut out for the plants to grow in. I've done it this way a few times with mixed results.
