A number of years ago, in the middle of winter, I found a small bunch of 
scallions in the fridge looking yellow and pale.  I stuck them in a 
container of water and left them on the window sill.  They started 
greening up and growing roots. In the spring I planted them in the 
garden. Today, five or six years later, they are still out there, having 
multiplied greatly, providing green onions and periodically setting seed 
and producing new green onions.  They are tasty and more digestible then 
bulb onion.  Life just loves to sprout and thrive!

Regards,

Jay
