SENIORS CAN REGROW VEGGIES!

I was up late one night looking at
my Boards and Pins on Pinterest.
I noticed  several Pins and
Boards stating that you can 
"ReGrow Kitchen Scraps" 
I thought, " No Way". I had to
see if this was a scam, all hype, 
or a joke!

I started with the green onions.
I bought a bag of green onions 
with roots from the grocery store. 
I placed some of them in a jar 
in my kitchen window. The rest
of the onions were placed in a planter on my porch.

My onions grew two inches by 
the end of the week! I have had 
a never-ending source of green 
onions since last year. 

I tried rooting pineapple tops and 

ginger root. The pineapple top

had to be rooted in water first. 

The ginger root can be cut in

pieces. I let the ends of the ginger

harden on the counter.  I  placed 

them in the soil in my planters with

the buds pointing up, I had to keep

the ginger root watered for a few months. Finally, green shoots

came up and the plant looked pretty.

I regrew mini bell peppers from my

grocery store. I removed their seeds and placed them in organic soil

in a planter. Celery was so easy 

to regrow. I cut the bottom section

off three celery stalks. I placed

the bottoms in water until green

leaves and roots appeared.  I

have nice celery plants on my 

front porch and back yard.

Now I have baby bok choy plants 
in water. I'll place them in a
planter when I get more roots!

I had success with regrowing yellow onions if they had green sprouts on them. I also discovered green sprouts 

on some pearl onions at the grocery store. I bought several of them. 

I placed all of these sprouted onions

in planters in June.  Some of the planters  have protruding onions peeking out of the dirt.  I need to wait until the yellow skin forms on

these onions.

I have really enjoyed this regrowing grocery store produce project. I have reviewed several online videos on how to regrow grocery store vegetables. 

I have saved money. This was a good thing during this COVID-19 Pandemic!
