where the onion grows - part II

the rogue onion saga continues. what started as a large onion bulb to begin, has grown roots and divided into 3. From what I understand, the onion bulbs that start out round, end up oblonged. It is odd to have a torpedo shaped onion, but if it is diced up, who will know. We'll see what happens, harvest time is right around the corner.

where the onion grows

Recently, I discovered that you can grow an onion from an onion. This is a typical red onion that was bought in a grocery story. I also learned that, left to its own vices, the onion will start to sprout, using the bulb as its food source. I decided to do a little science experiment. I planted the sprouting bulb to see what would happen. The once albino green leaves from the lack of sunlight are now a deep forest green and growing quite nicely. I am not sure what will become of the rogue onion just yet. We will wait to see how well it does.
