# Spring Onions

If you buy spring onions then it's possible, like us, that you buy
them in a bundle and end up with half of them drying out in the
refrigerator.

Well, you can prolong their life by keeping them growing.


## Method

Get a glass jar and place the onions inside (root down). Fill the jar
with enough water to cover 3 inches or so of the onions. Place the 
jar on a window ledge and leave for a 3 to 5 days. After this time 
you should start to notice the roots growing back (if they have been
trimmed). Once the roots have grown 20mm or so you can plant them in
soil outdoors and they will continue to grow until you need them.

This same method should also work for leeks.
