Vegetables are one of the most important factors in our diet. It contains a large number of vitamins and minerals that our body needs to function and strengthen our immunity.
Growing vegetables is easy and simple. You can constantly renew vegetables for the next season without spending money constantly buying seeds.
Today we will try our best to show you some plants that you can easily grow every season without buying seeds but replacing them.
Garlic
You can use garlic cloves to regrow sprouts, and one little clove can give you more than 10 garlic cloves. You can add them to salads, pasta, and various dishes, as their taste is a bit milder.
As soon as they sprout, place them in a glass with some water, and keep the glass on the windowsill, or outside. Replant the sprouts as soon as they reach a couple of inches.
Use a larger pot and fertile soil, and after a few days, the first leaves will appear. Pick the garlic when the leaves are brown and start falling.
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.
Lettuce
You can grow your new lettuce from the bottom of a lettuce head. Place stumps of it in a half inch of water, and when you notice the first new roots and leaves, replant it into the garden or in a pot with soil. Its leaves might grow up to twice the size.
The same method can be used to regrow cabbages.
Celery
Use the celery bottoms to regrow the new vegetables. Cut off the base, and place it in a shallow bowl or saucer in the sun, and in the middle of the base, you will soon notice the leaves. After 3 days, replant them in soil.
Cilantro
Put the stems of cilantro in a glass of water, and the new ones will grow soon. When they become longer, transfer them into a pot with soil, and keep the pot in a room with ample lighting. Expect the new plants in a couple of months.
Basil
You need basil clippings with stems of 3-4 inches and put them in a glass of water. The glass should be exposed to a direct sunlight, and as soon as the roots become 2 inches long, plant them in pots. Water the basil regularly for it not to be too slimy.
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 in order to mature, so you can get faster effects if you choose to use crowns. Note that if waterlogged, the asparagus will rot.
Lemongrass
To regrow lemongrass, place the root ends in a glass of water, and leave it in a sunny spot. After about three weeks you should begin to see roots. Then you need to transfer them into a pot of soil.
