Growing food from scraps

[Calliegirl]

Did you know that you can regrow certain fruits and vegetables from the parts you normally throw away?
Here are a few links which tell you how to do it. I'm trying to regrow romaine lettuce, it's done the same way as celery.

Celery, ginger, scallions and lemongrass.

Pineapples.

Celery, ginger, sweet potatoes, green onions and garlic.

Scroll down for the pumpkin. They just cut the top off, added dirt and watered it. I really like this idea even though the pumpkin wasn't really a scrap.

Bok Choy (similar to celery)

Celery that's regrowing.
