Vidalia Onions Grow
I have this bowl of Vidalia onions on top of my refriderator. I had actually forgotten about them. I really do not look up too often.
However, I spied them this past weekend and one of them is growing! Goodness, imagine that! What a surprise.
Please tell me what I can do with this thing. Should I plant it? Should I put it in water? I know that if you put a sweet potatoe in a glass of water with toothpicks to hold it up, it will make a really beautiful plant. I have done that before.
It seems a shame to eat it now. So, what do I do with it? Any ideas?

This reminds me of something my friend did with garlic. She planted the garlic in soil and as it grew sprouts she chopped them and put in salads and such. It had a garlic flavor, only not so strong. I wonder if that would work for the onion sprouts.
