What Happens When You REGROW Vegetables From Kitchen Scraps In The Garden?

I've been thinking of growing some celery. Interesting how hardy it is. Celery in the supermarket is often half rotted and bad quality, at least here in The Netherlands.

I come from a family of farmers. You can also take a potato, find each eye, cut the potato so that each eye has some of the inside attached to each one, then either put in water suspended with a few toothpicks to keep it just above the water in a container, glass is the best for this, or if you want to plant just make sure that the eye is facing upwards. The one eye will grow into a full grown potato plant producing many.

As you would an Avocado! Neat tip!!! I will try it. Thank you!

Sure thing, they're some of the easiest to grow. You can get multiple plants from one potato.

so cool

hmmm, I have been turning most of my table scraps into compost with 2 - 48 Gallon Tumbling Composters. And adding my used up coffee grounds to give em some boost.

I should start saving a few to try this...

Hmmm, nothing ... but .. ummm .. sprouts = future full plants? Pictures of sprouts from the scraps?


I always freeze all of my table scraps for about a week, first. Then thaw them, add a little water and blend the entire mixture. Combine the mixture with the carbon source (I use wood chippings for hamster cages along with a little cedar shavings) and let sit for 24 hours. Then pour into the compost bins ...

wait ... what was the question again?

Thank you!

Yeah, I bury all my organics...

:cfsnicker:

OK ... Thank you for that. I wasn't sure if they were serious or not. Probably just another case of read the first 3 words in a multiple paragraphed explanation of the subject material ... including pictures for those who can read at all...

Do not derail my thread...

yes mam ... sorry mam ... my apologies.

I love it... I will try it!

God instantly

This looks like it might be faster growing than from seeds. I wonder (I'm not really a gardener) if that would protect it from birds, squirrels etc as well. Last year my cat protected my plants from predators as he was a mighty hunter, but alas, he perished on Christmas Eve (of all nights). So I'm on my own with the plants this year.

I’m very sorry about your kitty!


Yeah, I think they really grow faster than seedlings. I keep mine in the kitchen... they’re growing...

i grew up in the country,where we could dump kitchen scraps in a hedge or field. was common for squash and others to regrow on its own the following year. problem u will have is the seeds nowadays are engineered so plants won't be like the parent was.

note-if u have the space, roots and guords are your best options. won't need to can them. just store in a cellar or garage even. best where it is cool and dark.can store potatoes,onion,squash,even apples long term this way.

Thank you for the tips!

I still cant get celery to grow. I think this is best in california!

Need to and check back on all the great gardening tips being shared.

I love pulling apart the flowers into separate little flowers and sprinkling them over salads. So pretty!

I live in central Fl and last year I constructed a garden plot using 8 4' diameter 2' high galvanized steel drainage pipes. At the end of last year we planted collard greens, red cabbage, white cabbage, Brussel sprouts, Carrots, Leeks, Swiss Chard, cauliflower, Red Romaine lettuce, Spinach and Celery. My wife has done some replanting of things in the past, mainly garlic and onions and it has done okay, but not outstanding.

The garden exploded with stuff, we had so much we had to give a bunch away. Our freezer was full of Beef we bought for the ranchers we back up to on our property so didn't have a lot of room to add stuff.

Gardening is fun, but it is a lot of work as well, especially when we have so many other things to take care of.

Crazy thing is where we live there is a chance of frost tomorrow night, if the wind is still. Never before in April have I seen it get as cold as they are saying.

Anyway just my 2 cents.

I live self sufficiently in the Australian bush and any tips or tricks help me out! Great watch thanks.

Sseess,

I had to laugh at your answer to LittleMe. I was thinking the same thing!

Well, LM, it came from the Depression era, I'm thinking.

Folks then had very little, so they didn't WASTE anything! They repaired, resewed, and didn't throw away something that could be fixed back up, so then you didn't WANT for things....

Hope that explains it.

scim,

I remember a few years back, it got cold (or maybe it stayed cold?) for a long time....well into April or even May, I think here in Central FL. I told hubs, "Don't complain, that just means a shorter time of super HOT summer weather."

Well, that wasn't the case at all, cause if I am remembering correctly, it was a very HOT summer once it got here, and maybe quite long, too!

But then you have to move them. Maybe you don't have to if you add hydroponic food to the water. We just ordered some of that from Amazon. But for now we're moving them to a mix of dirt and compost we made in previous years (don't use new compost, it still has a fungus in it).

If you wait too long to move them out of the water, the base can rot.

The trouble with growing oniongrass is that every time you cut it, it regrows smaller. Just the inner layers grow up.

I regrow an Avocado seed and in three years the tree produced many avocado fruit. It will usually takes at least five on average before fruit is produced.

In NY I think we're getting later summer and later winter. The seasons are moving later.

This is an interesting thread. Vining Malabar spinach can be reproduced from a stem. Just stick it in water and it will grow roots, for new plants. I share a lot of my plants with friends by rooting cuttings.

For the perennial growers, have you ever heard of a thing called Nine Star perennial broccoli? I am growing it for the first time and was curious if anyone had any feedback. Hoping for success in Texas!
