Mom's wisdom

My mom has been helping me a lot with my vegetable garden project, giving me advise and sharing her experience with me. She is leaving on Saturday so I will be left to fend for myself. Hopefully she will keep up with my progress through this blog and continue giving me much needed advice. I'm already worried about all the bugs/slugs/insect that may attack my little vegetable plants. Anyway, she showed me this little trick, something I that is done in Southern part of Japan. I was about to compost the roots of the green onions but she said you can regenerate them my planting them in soil....and sure enough, they are happily growing in this little container.
