Growing green onions in your garden can help you live a healthier life style, and it keeps one more item off your grocery list. Growing green onions is very simple, once you have planted the bulbs, just add water daily. When they reach 12 inches or more their ready to be taken out of the garden.
With green onions you only eat the green stems, and a small part of the white stem. Green onions are great in any dish, BBQ sauce you make, and one of my favorite is "Green Onion Dip".
My first batch of green onions from the garden are ready to be washed and cut. You only need a cutting board, knife, and a Ziplock bag or container.
Cut off the bulbs.
After you have your green onions ziplocked, place them in the fridge or freezer (recommended) until you need them. You can also leave the green onions in the garden and clip off what you need, this helps to reduce waste just in case you forget about the green onions in the fridge. Place the bulb and leftover pieces in the compost if you have one.
Grow as much as you can during the summer, this will lower your grocery bill, and save you money.
