BLOOMING ONION!

Time for an update on the red onion I planter after I found it sprouting in my refrigerator since Christmas.

It has officially bloomed, which leads me to believe Stinky likes his new home.


Obviously, deep cleaning my refrigerator isn't a huge priority in my life. I do wipe down the shelves every other week (or so), but pulling out the drawers and cleaning with antibacterial spray doesn't happen all that often, which is why I found Stinky, trying to survive there, in the first place.

I just deep-cleaned the refrigerator and am always surprised at what manages to find its way under the crisper.



Today, it was ... a hair. Not so strange you say?

Well, it wasn't mine.

It was growing.


OK, so I overlooked the onion in the refrigerator crisper since Christmas.

I'm usually paranoid about out-of-date items and clean out the refrigerator religiously. Rarely anything (other than stuck-in-the-back-of-the-drawer cream cheese) gets moldy.


After I discovered the onion had fully sprouted, I was fascinated with its delicate lines and intricate root system that had started to grow. So, I took some pictures.


After that, I started to wonder if it would have baby onions if I planted it. So, I did. I know nothing about growing onions, but I know it's getting bigger by the minute.

Sort of like these giant water lilies on time-lapse photography.

Stay tuned for red onion updates throughout the summer.
