Default Spring onions

it may work. you can try putting it is some soil, keep it moist, and
cut most of the top off so that the new plant will not loose too much
water. I've found that green onions are very hardy and easy to grow.
if yo ureayy wnat to grow them, you can buy seeds or get from a
neighbor. If you have a neighbor with "egyptian onions" get a few
bulbs, they are more proflic than traditional green onions.

thanks,
Simon

BTW, I did the same with lemon grass too and they have sprouted little
roots also.
