I have cut the sides off and used the sides and left the root part on, I used most of the onion(it was not sprouting yet) placed thedead roots in water, it took a few days but new roots are growing and has started sprouting! I will plant in soil soon! For sweet bulb onions. I've been regrowing celery, romaine lettuce, onions, & I'm sprouting dried grocery store peas to plant for pea plants! I'm also going to plant some sprouted red potatoes & yams! I'm a starting gardener, have grown transplants, flowers, tomatoes, peppers that you buy but this year am trying to grow more foods than flowers, I have perennial herbs, a few kinds of sage', rosemary, different thyme, oregano, some in pots, some in ground. This has all been myscience project, to see what I can't kill! It's funny I used to over care for houseplants, overwatering, that I killed, I kept trying and killing them for years! But since I have a little land around my mobile home(in a park), I've ventured outside! The ground around here is terribly dense, clay mudlike, no drainage so most everything I have is in pots, I have a raised bed of strawberries, asparagus(a friend bought me a plant, IDK what I'm doing, but trying to grow that in the ground, but it's still alive but not really thriving because of the flooding, no drainage ground, but I am trying! Lol!

But when onion bulbs sprout, that second year is the flowering year. Which means the onion will not grow large, but will instead grow a pithy, tough, thick-walled center flowering stem.
Go ahead and plant it, but when the flower is turning into a seed head, it will start to wilt.
Cut it off with about 5 inches of stalk, and bring it indoors to dry.
After it's thoroughly dry, rub it between your hands over a bowl, and watch your harvest of onion seeds fall out! Put the seeds into a paper envelope and put them in an outdoor shed to chill thoroughly until early spring. Sow very shallowly as soon as your garden can be worked.

Yeah I made a mistake earlier a couple but its growing and I dont know if I should leave it. I dug a hole, and threw a onion that was starting to go bad in the and covered it up and watered it once and said if it grows it grows. Well it started growing good, but now Im worried I did it for nothing
It hadnt even sprouted yet when I put it in the ground with the roots facing down because I knew thats how theyd grow naturally. Is it now just going to use the rotting onion for nutrients and not grow any bulbs?

I did this this late winter with a large white onion just like that one. I did not soak it in water or peel it way down like that though. It sent out a huge thick scape pretty quickly which developed a large flower/seed head. This is what I expected since the onion had already bulbed up fully once as onions do in their first season (unless they are stressed and bolt. Being a biennial onions like this one that are replanted will go to seed.

We forgot that there were snap peas inside a zip lock bag in my fridge. They sprouted and started breaking out of their pods like crazy! So I planted them in my back yard and they're doing well, except that squirrels keep stepping on them and digging them up. They don't like cayenne powder though, so I sprinkled some, hoping they'll harmlessly get the hint.

What people fail to see is that we all want round onions, to regrow this and make more does it matter if thay are round and your going to slice and dice them up? I should think not. We should not waste food when they are so many people that would be glad to have something to eat. Thumbs up on this video

Looking at utilizing my scraps to jumpstart my spring garden and came upon this video as I'm figuring out what to to with what I'm finding while spring cleaning.
Thank you for stating where you would bury the bulb to. Very helpful. Had not seen that in a video like this yet.

I just found this video but at the perfect time. I have multiple onions that are in this mode but I didnt have a clue how to replant them. I cant wait to see if I actually get new edible growth from something that got forgotten in the back of the bin.

After watching I tried it out. Your instructions were great. It went very well seperating the onion and I planted the two I got. Now I will have to wait to see what happens. I had a lot of fun. Thanks!

I love this! Rewatching again and what resonates for me is the we don't grow plants. they grow themselves. we're there to steward & shepherd them in their journey. it makes me sigh a deep sigh of relief
