Planting onions from scraps

Has anyone here planted onions in their garden from "scraps". I have 10 holes left in my cinder block garden and thought onions may be ok to fill them....Plus I'm cutting some onions today.

Never onions, but I have taken the bottom inch or so cut off green onions that have just a bit of root still on them and planted them and they grew.
What I usually do with them is cut them and place the root end in a cup and add a bit of water so the roots start to grow over the next week or so and then plant them in the soil. Once they start to grow I'll harvest just the green stalk and let the root end keep producing more stalks.

What do you mean by scraps? The entire bulb, part of the bulb?
Though it’s the wrong time of the year to be planting onions in LA - fall/winter/spring crop.
If you had an entire bulb you planted now you might get some green onion tops for seasoning before the extreme heat of summer.

This works in a cup in the window sill with just faucet water too.

I finally did that instead of tossing them after using what I needed a few weeks ago. I just cut and froze my first 1/2 cup of green onions yesterday!

A lot of my hello Fresh green onion bulbs go in a planter. We have onion tops galore.

Too late for onions. Mine are bulbing and will be ready to pull within the month.
