After one week, the onions are as big as they were when purchased!!

Question from comments: Do they keep growing if I cut them or do they need to be taken out completely? Love this idea:)

Answer: You can cut tops and use them as chives; just don't cut them really short and they will regrow again.

Eat them whenever you want to! If you like my guides, please follow me here or at heart4home.net
