Indoor gardening projects

Onions are easy to start inside and will give you lots of fresh nutritious greens to be added to eggs or salads. Start with a big yellow, white, or red onion from the supermarkets. If you cut it from tip to root you will notice usually a small green growth in the middle. Next onion cut it from the tip to 1 inch away from the root. Make 3 more cuts the same way - from the tip to 1 inch from the root. You will end up with a pyramid shape with roots intact at the bottom. Press the roots into potting dirt in a 4 inch square pot or four roots in a 6 inch pot. Water well and cover with clear wrap. In about a week you will see a new green shoot coming out the top of the pyramid. Remove the wrap, add more dirt, and watch the green shoot grow. Then more will come. When they reach 6 - 8 inches, cut from the base and chop fine for adding flavor and nutrition to your food. Water as necessary.
