Tired of going to the grocery store to buy veggies? What? You don’t buy veggies? Well, you should, because growing your vegetables from kitchen scraps is badass.
With these simple tricks, you can easily save time and money by creating your vegetable garden in the comfort of your own home. Whether you have a huge farm or a tiny studio apartment, you can easily grow these vegetables with very little effort and a bag of soil.
The following 5 vegetables are extremely easy to grow and this is how to regrow them and have them in unlimited supplies:
Carrots
Use carrot tops to regrow your carrots. Place them in a dish with some water, and keep the dish on a window sill or in a well-lit room. Their taste might be a bit bitter, but you can sweeten them with vinegar and mix it with garlic, and this add them to salads.
Garlic
Garlic sprouts can be grown from the garlic cloves. They taste milder than garlic and can be added to pasta, salads, and other dishes. When they begin to sprout, have them placed in a glass that has little water.
Celery
Don’t you hate having to buy a giant bag of celery when you only need a couple of pieces? Use your leftovers to grow your own by cutting off the base and place in it in a shallow bowl of water in the sun. Once leaves start to appear after about 3 days, transfer the plant to soil.
Green Onion
Green Onions are probably the easiest vegetables to regrow. You can regrow green onions by cutting them in about an inch from the roots and placing them in a glass of water.
Lettuce
Before you throw away the rest of that head of lettuce, try this handy trick! Add the lettuce stumps to 1/2 inch of water and then transfer the plant into the soil once new leaves begin to appear. Sometimes leaves even grow twice their size the second time around. Cabbages work the same way!
Asparagus
This early spring vegetable, if kept properly, can produce every year for up to 25 years or 2-year old crowns. The seeds require a few years to mature, so you can get faster effects if you choose to use crowns. Note that if waterlogged, the asparagus will rot.
Bok Choy
Place Bok Choy stumps in a couple of inches of water for about 1-2 weeks. Once you see them begin to sprout, transplant them into a pot with soil, and watch them grow a new head!
