Small progress in the garden

I wanted to share with you that the caledullas and tagetes flowers I planted few weeks ago didnt go well so I decided to plant gladiollus flowers. I think 2 weeks have passed now and this is the progress... And i got very happy when i saw few small caledulla leafs staring at me from the ground. Hopefully the garden will have beautifull colours after 2 months.

Fresh onion leafs

There are few plants that can be growed and regrowed all the year in you home so you can always have fresh vegetables in your kitchen. Today i choose to share with you my experience with onions :-D I decided that eathing healthy is a priority so the idea of growing onions in pots came right on time. Ofcourse this is not something new but it is very easy. You just need to get a pot filled with ANY kind of soil and you just press the onions with the bottom down in the soil, about 1-2 centimeters deep. Water them every 4-5 days but not too much. The soil shouldn't be too dry or too moist. Every 2 weeks you can harvest the leafs (preferably with scissors) and each onion can give you fresh leafs for about 6-8 weeks. Once you see the onion rots just take it out and a new one in the hole. You can use the same soil for almost a year if you wish to.Same can be done with garlic. Other easy way to do the same thing is to press 3 toothpicks in the onion / garlic so it can stay on the top of a glass, fill up the glass with water and wait... In few days very clean white roots will start to fill the water and new fresh green leafs will start to grow. I don't have photos of the second process so I'm gonna share only of the first one with the pots. Have fun! :)
P. S- they grow much bigger and if you use normal sized onions you will  get 40-50 centimeter leafs
