Sprouted Onions - What to do?

I am sure you have found your onions have "sprouted."    Of course, your first thought is "oh darn" and you throw it out because the onion is now no good.  I did the same thing until now.  I was reading somewhere on the Internet that you can plant these!!!  So I figured what the heck.  Let's give this a try. 

Dig a hole deep and wide enough to fit the onion.

 Cover it with dirt so just the top of the "sprout" is showing.

Add some water and wait to see what happens.  Stay tune!!
