Regrow Spring Onions in Water!

Don’t have a garden where you can grow spring onions outside? That doesn’t matter. You can actually regrow store bought spring onions, as long as they have a some of the roots left on each plant.

1. Trim the tops of the onions and place them in a glass of water with the water just above where the onions start to turn green. You will want to be able to see what is happening as the spring onions regrow.
2. Change the water when it starts to get dirty. Keep the container near a sunny window if you can, so that the onions get some light.
3. When you need spring onions for cooking or eating, just cut off the green part of the onions above the water line and leave the base in the glass.
3. In a few days, the onions will start regrowing from the cut area. You can re-cut again and again! Shoots should appear in about 3 days.

Spring onions are one of the easiest cut and come again vegetables. In a week, you will have more growth to use in cooking.

Today's Nature Idea-Make Huge Bubbles!

Ingredients

· 6 cups water (distilled is best but tap water is fine)

· 1/2 cup blue Dawn dish detergent I used “ultra concentrated”, but Dawn original is even better.

· 1/2 cup corn starch

· 1 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda)

· 1 tbsp Glycerine

You will also need a giant bubble wand.

HOMEMADE GIANT BUBBLE RECIPE

1. Dissolve Cornstarch-Dissolve cornstarch in the water, stirring really well.

2. Add Remaining Ingredients-Stir in the rest of the ingredients, being very careful not to create a lot of froth.

3. Let it Sit-Allow your bubble mixture to sit for at least an hour before using, stirring occasionally when you see the cornstarch settling to the bottom.

Note: Some of the cornstarch won’t dissolve completely and may even settle to the bottom when you’re using your bubble mixture, but it won’t affect the quality of your bubbles.

HOW TO MAKE A GIANT BUBBLE WAND:

I used two drinking straws, and a length of yarn that was 6 to 8 times longer than the length of one straw. Thread the yarn through the straws, tie a knot, and you’re good to go!
