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

Thanks for that Simon. I'll look into the Egyptian onions. You
mentioned onion seeds. I haven't come across any around where I'm at
(DC). I use spring onions a lot although they are cheap to buy, I'd
love to grow some in my own pot. I think they will look nice in a pot
by the window in the winter.

Thanks,
Wil
