. Use as much of the scallions as you’d like, even their whites, but be sure to leave a bit of space above the roots to give them a chance to regrow.Now, for the set-up: Place your scallions root-side-down in a glass or jar that’s small enough to keep them from falling over and clear enough to maximize sunlight exposure. Cover the roots with a bit of water but leave the top dry, place the jar in a sunny spot, maybe your windowsill, and wait.
I’ve only been cultivating my scallions for a few weeks, but I plan to keep this habit going for as long as possible. In theory, you can keep snipping off the tops of your scallions forever. In practice, well, I’ll keep you posted. Blessedly, scallions aren’t the only produce you can regrow with this technique. I’ve spotted people doing this same treatment with leeks, fennel bulbs , celery, and carrots . I’m hoping to regrow leeks... if only I can get my hands on them.
Not everything you grow will have a huge yield, but that’s okay. Think of it as a new houseplant. Or a source of screen-free entertainment. Or an exercise in patience. Or better yet, see it for exactly what it is: A free way to make more scallions when trips to the grocery store are few and far between. I don’t know about you, but that’s the only motivation I need.
