Regrowing green onion and herbs
Posted on 8/10/23 at 12:32 pm

I’m in the process of trying to create a green onion pot that I can use so that I no longer have to buy from the store. As I’m researching, it appears I only have about 3-5 more times I can cut them until they have to be replanted.
What would be the process of this? Is a new bulb supposed to grow out of this?
Also, what are some easy herbs that can be used daily that also have quick growing patterns that would be useful?

Green Onion - We just shove the rooted ends in the pot and they grow. Cut them when we need them and if they stop growing, we buy more and repeat process. Seems like we haven't planted new roots in years.
Other herbs we buy the small plants and place them in an elevated garden. Cut, snip and they usually grow back, until they get frozen.

That's what I'm hoping to avoid with the green onion. It was only $1 for about ten of them from Target. Really just want to be able to pick them freely and not have to go out and add to my shopping list. Is there some way to actively do this? I can always plant outside if that provides a better environment for regrowing.

Green onions you can just plop the bulbs from grocery store in a pot and they will multiply and grow back after cutting.
Basil grows fast and is pretty self-sustaining, new plants will come up on their own after plant dies.

You can also grow sweet basil but put the plant in the ground for best results. Once they get flower stalks on them, be sure to pinch or cut them off as that forces the plant to branch off and produce more basil.
Rosemary is also easy to grow, and like basil, it does better in the ground. An added advantage to rosemary is you can cut the long stems, strip them of the herb and then use them as skewers for kebabs.
Mint is another herb that grows real well, but one I'd advise to grow in a big pot. If in the ground, it will spread very easily and can take over a garden in time.
