Can you plant onions that already have a green stem coming from it? Like ones in fridge if not used fast enough .

I've done it. You take the outside layers off until you reach the layers the green stem is attached to and plug it in your garden. They become a bigger version of themselves. I see this a way of not wasting that onion and tossing it.

Yes, I just did exactly that this summer. Instructions on previous reply are correct.
