Homegrown Organic Spring Onions

What greeted me this morning was a beautiful sight!  The spring onions that the mil planted from red onion bulbs had sprung out, tall and mighty and bountiful!




For the first time after many tries, the spring onions didn't wither halfway while growing.  And the trick is to put the pots at the ledge of the balcony where the sunlight is the strongest. In the past, the pots were placed on the floor at our balcony, without receiving much direct sunlight.

Do you know that you can sow green scallions / spring onions from onion bulbs with shoots? Just cover the onion bulbs in soil and leave the green shoots exposed slightly. Water the plants everyday and make sure that the pot of plant gets lots of direct sunlight. We use fruit peel (orange and banana) and chicken egg shells as compost. The soil is organic.

Today we finally got to taste our harvested homegrown organic spring onions! And the mil cooked Taiwanese tomato egg omelette with the spring onions.





Spring onions can be grown from onion bulbs and they can also be regrown from spring onions. Yes, regrow!  We have tried both methods.  It's pretty hard to find organic spring onions from supermarkets and the best we can get them is to sow and harvest them right at our very own little balcony garden 😊
