Food Quest
You can easily grow green onions in your own garden or even in a pot. Why not give it a try this year?
Plant the seeds in the spring about 6 centimetres apart and cover with about 2 centimetres of soil. Keep it moist. If you grow your own vegetables in a pot or container, be careful they don’t dry out.
