So, I finally got around to using the green onions I've been growing.

Update - Day 6
I put them all back in the water to see if they will grow again.
Project verdict - an easy way to regenerate green onions if you don't mind floppy green stems in your kitchen window. Tasty results. Is it worth the $1.79 I saved? Well...
Green Onion Update!
I know you've been dying for this! It's riveting stuff.
Growth seems slow to me, but really, I have no yardstick to measure green onion growth, so....
As you can see, I've been adding to my little onion collection. They are in various stages of regrowth. You can see major root growth going on in the water.
Here is one of the first green onions. All of the dark green in new growth. You can also see a new shoot that hadn't been previously cut.
I'm not sure how long I'll let them get before I'll start using them again. I'm not sure how many times they can regrow. STAY TUNED!
A while back I read that you could re-grow cut green onions by placing them in water. I think first I read about it here, but I couldn't find the specific post again.
Well, that's been rattling around in my head for some time, and I finally decided to try it.
Day 1:
So far, very little change. If you look closely you can see that there is a tiny amount of growth.
I am sure this will be about as exciting as watching paint dry, and depending on if it works on not, perhaps just as productive.
I plan to keep adding stems to this glass as I use more.
I'll keep you posted. I know you're on the edge of your seat.
