how did i accidentally grow the fattest onion in my tiny backyard?

I never thought I’d get this hyped about an onion, but here we are. I tossed a sprouting onion from my kitchen into a patch of dirt, mostly just to see what would happen. A few weeks later, I noticed these green shoots poking up, so I started watering them whenever I remembered. Turns out, onions love a little neglect and a lot of sun. I didn’t even use fancy soil—just whatever was already there. The trick, I realized, is to let the soil dry out a bit between waterings. One day, I tugged on the greens and pulled up the biggest onion I’ve ever seen. It felt like a tiny victory. Now I’m planning my next veggie experiment. Gardening isn’t as complicated as it looks! #gardening #backyardlife #growyourown
