Here I am again replanting my food so I do not have to buy them again. These spring onions grow rapidly.
I bought some for our Easter bulgogi and I immersed the remaining root and stem in water and 3 days after it is like this already. Even the day after, they were already starting to grow back.
I may need to repot them soon for my endless supply of spring onions.

You definitely can. I have no garden of my own as me and my husband are renting at the moment. We left our home in Bath to be closer to his work. So I am buying things like grow bags for my plants and I am researching a lot about hydroponics. Even our water bottles can be pots.

@LadyDuck yes it is more practical really. Although I miss having freedom to plant direct on soil. And I guess my friends in Bath. We do go back to check on the house from time to time. We want to rent it out soon so we can at least earn from it and help pay the mortgage at least cause now we pay rent and mortgage it is a bit heavy.

I've never tried growing spring onions and am amazed that they grew so fast I like the idea of having an endless supply

@flapiz the savings is great but I think you're right about the thrill of watching your onions grow.

I am still debating on that. My friend told me to repot. But I am still researching if I can grow it through hydroponics.

@flapiz let me know what you decide ....
I have some spring onions as the supermarket was selling them at 8p a bunch over Easter so I have the roots I could place in water. However, I bought some seeds two weeks ago which I will plant next week when I get home .
Maybe I should experiment with both ways ....

That’s so satisfying to see! Spring onions really grow fast, and it’s nice knowing you can just regrow them instead of buying again.

Yes it is an endless supply of the spring onions. But I do not know how to grow the bulbs.

Yes, they need to be potted but you can just use a shallow dish with water in it if you want and just eat the green tops in your cooking.
