Recycling store bought vegetables

Since sowing certain vegetables from seed can be unpredictable, and I am determined to ensure my first season of gardening produces a small variety of edibles, I have looked to other methods of growing.

Regrowing cut vegetables is something that we came across not long ago in an article and I thought it was a fantastic way to reduce waste, get more greens and save money!

It's a very simple method at absolutely zero cost! Cut vegetables the way you usually do to cook and put the bottoms in water. 

Cut ends of pak choi, fennel, and celery

I have done it with pak choi, fennel and celery. In over a week, new shoots will start growing.

And then it's time plant them in soil.
