Growing Onions from Old Onions
We take last years left over onions and prepare them for this years planting. |

Bag of Leftover Onions
After last years harvest I stored onions in a brown bag in a cool dark place. After 6 months of eating all I could, the leftover onions began to sprout. |

Leftover Onion Re-Sprouts
This onion sent out three new sprouts. The onion bulb has become a papery shell with the onions moisture used up to support the new sprouts. |
 |
Peeling the Old Onion
Peel back the layers of paper onion paper exposing a core of three onion sets with a more moist onion skin. |

New Onion Sets from an Old Onion
The three sets of new onions that have grown out of an old onion should be carefully seperated. In some cases a nife will be necessary to seperate the sets before planting. |
