You don’t have the time or space to start a vegetable garden of your own. There’s nothing to be concerned about! Even if you don’t have a garden, you can still cultivate your own food.
Some veggies can be regrown from kitchen waste over and over again. There are 15 vegetables on our list that you can keep growing again and over again. Some examples include lettuce, celery, bok choy, sweet potato, and basil They’re a breeze to grow, and they produce a lot. To properly care for your new plants, all you’ll need is a little amount of time and persistence on your part. The advantages, on the other hand, are enormous.
1. Basil
Place the basil stems with the leaf nodes in a glass of water and set them in a sunny place. This will allow the basil to sprout. The roots should be around 2 inches long before being transferred to pots.
2. Romaine Lettuce
Romaine lettuce can be regrown from the stump’s root zone. A few days in a half-inch of water will do the trick for romaine lettuce stumps. If the water level drops below a half-inch, you’ll need to add water. Planting in the soil is possible as fresh leaves begin to regrow.
3. Carrots
It is possible to grow carrot tops in water in a well-lit room or on a window sill in order to harvest carrot leaves. Making salad out of carrot scraps has never been easier.
4. Green Onion
Green onions are one of the simplest vegetables to grow again after being eaten. The roots of green onions can be trimmed down to about an inch, and then placed in a glass of water to re-grow.
5. Garlic
Garlic sprouts can be grown from a single clove of garlic. It’s as simple as putting the sprouting garlic cloves in a glass of water and watching them grow. You can also plant garlic cloves directly on the ground.
6. Celery
Place a dish of warm water and celery in a sunny area and cut off the base of the celery. During the next 5 to 7 days, the base’s new, thicker leaves will begin to sprout in the midst of it. It’s now time to plant it in a container of dirt.
7. Cilantro
Place the stems in a glass of water and let them grow. Once the roots have grown sufficiently, you can move the plant to a soil-filled container and place it in a sunny location. A harvest will take a few months.
8. Bok Choy
The root end of the bok choy can be regrown by placing it face-up in water. It will begin to grow back after a few days. And in a matter of weeks, you’ll be able to transplant it into a pot of soil to allow it to mature.
9. Lemongrass
Stalks of lemongrass can be grown again by soaking them in water. Plant the lemongrass stalks in a sunny spot when the roots appear in two to three weeks.
10. Ginger
Soak ginger pieces overnight in water, then move to a container with soil in a sunny location. This will allow the ginger to sprout.
11. Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes can be grown again by placing them in a container of water and allowing them to sprout in direct sunshine. Afterwards, plant the well-rooted sprouts in the ground.
12. Onion
The bottom of an onion can be used to replant the onion. It’s as simple as snipping off the onion’s bottom, allowing it to dry, and then planting it in soil.
13. Leeks
Like regrowing green onions, regrowing leeks is a simple process. Simply remove the roots and submerge them in a glass of water for two minutes.
14. Rosemary
In order to propagate and re-grow rosemary stalks, cut 2-3 inches off their tops and place them in water. The young roots can then be transplanted into soil-filled containers as they begin to grow.
15. Lemon Balm
To reseed lemon balm, cut a 2 to 3-inch section of the stem and place it in a glass of water. The roots can be potted up once they’ve grown long enough.
