The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

I have a philosophy that if I’m going to put in a lot of effort to grow a plant, that plant needs to do something for me, with a few exceptions. It either needs to come back the next year (why I don’t plant annuals much) or provide food.
Two weeks ago we made chicken soup and I bought some green onions to season the soup with. And I’d seen that I could put the roots in water and they’d regrow. I figured, why not. Let’s run an experiment. I had some small glass bottles I’ve been saving so I put them in one and figured we’d see what happened.
And this is what happened by the next night. Amazing!
And a week later we were making pizza and cut some off to put on our homemade pizza, because it looked like this:
I put an elastic band around the bases to hold them together and added small marbles in the jar to help hold the onions upright. We might plant them in dirt eventually too.
We’ll be cutting them down again this week to use in our Thanksgiving dinner. I may never buy green onions again.

Conservation of mass still bothers me. Not the principle itself, but the gross violation of said principle that is taking place in our very living room. :brett:
You know that there is mass in the water and air the onions are taking in, right? :lisa:
I think that is remarkable. How low can you cut them down?
We don’t know yet. But we’re certainly going to find out.
