Growing food from scraps

Not all crops need to be grown from seeds, there are some foods that you can regrow just from using the scraps left over! 

Two kinds of produce I am currently growing are romaine lettuce and celery. 

So simple!

First, cut the lettuce/celery off leaving the bottom stump.

(This is romaine lettuce)

Second, place the stump into a small dish of water (as you can see in the picture above I used a small cupcake liner plastic dish container). Put just enough water in to cover the bottom. 

Third, watch the food regrow from the leftover! One it sprouts, let it get a bit bigger then transfer into good soil. As you can see in the first picture, in the very middle, it is already beginning to re-sprout. 

Lastly, replant in your garden! 

(This is my celery, started in the same way as the lettuce, just about a week ago)

I can not wait for my produce to grow big and yummy!
