    Is there an advantage to planting the roots of an already grown plant instead of buying a packet of seeds for 50¢? I’m guessing it would grow a bit faster buy I’m not a growologist.

      I just stick the roots in a cup with a little water on the window sill. No planters/dirt/etc.

      Green onions especially. The only part that regrows is the greens, which are only used for garnish. If you want the actual flavor from green onions, you have to use the whites.

      Combine that with a bunch of green onions usually costing less than a dollar… I just don’t feel like it’s worth the effort.

      The seeds they sell you aren’t the good stuff they’re growing.
