Regrow Veggies 25

Lettuce growing from cuttings in two cups near a window You can regrow many veggies at home from kitchen scraps! Here are some easy ones to try:

Green Onions ? – Place the white root ends in a glass of water and watch them regrow. Snip off new growth and use as needed or plant once roots are established.

Lettuce ? – Put the base in a shallow dish of water, and new leaves will start to sprout.

Celery ? – Like lettuce, place the base in water and watch new stalks emerge.

Garlic ? – Plant a garlic clove with the pointed end up, and it will grow new garlic shoots.

Basil ? – Place basil stems in water, and they’ll start to develop roots. Then, transfer them to soil.

Regrowing veggies is a great way to reduce food waste and enjoy fresh produce right from your kitchen! ??
