8 Vegetables and Herbs You Can Regrow · Video

Here are 8 Vegetables and Herbs that you can regrow in your garden. Do you throw your garlic-bulbs out once they start to sprout? What about your potatoes when they get a little wrinkly? How about ginger-root that sits out on the counter too long?

You could be getting a lot more out of your produce than you may realize! Many popular edibles can be regrown from the scraps you're likely throwing-out.

Basil
Basil is easy propagate; simply take some healthy, fresh, 4-inch cuttings from a young basil plant and leave just two sets of leaves at the top of each cutting, and remove the remaining leaves and then submerge the cuttings in a few inches of clean-water. It may take several weeks for new roots to form; once they have, plant in a small pot on your windowsill, or in your garden. 

Mint
Mint is another herb worth growing from cuttings; much like basil you'll want cuttings about 4 to 5 inches in length. Begin by removing lower leaves and place cuttings in clean-water. Once roots develop transfer to a container filled with potting-soil. 

Green Onions and Scallions[b]
Buy green onions once and then grow them from the scraps on a windowsill. Begin by placing the root leftover from the green-onions in a couple of inches of water; in just a few days you'll notice roots form, but also the leaves will start to grow. Continue to harvest while in water, or plant in a container of potting-soil.

[b]Ginger Root
Have you ever bought ginger-root and noticed any little buds forming? plant them and you'll have fresh ginger to harvest! Soak the roots overnight to encourage growth, and then you can transfer to a container filled with potting-soil. Ginger doesn't like standing-water, so make sure your container has drainage-holes.
​
Garlic
When your garlic-cloves start to sprout, plant them! Garlic is one of the easiest plants to regrow; one clove, planted in the garden (in either early-fall or late winter, depending on your area) can multiply into a bulb of multiple-cloves.

Celery
Celery follows like most of the others; once you use the celery-stalks, save the end that's leftover. Place the celery ends, root side down, in clean water for around a week; then transfer the celery to rich, well-draining soil and watch it really start to take-off.

Lettuce
Buy a fresh head of lettuce, make a salad, and place the base in a couple of inches of water; within a week it will begin to regrow!

Sweet Potatoes
If you love sweet potatoes then you should consider growing them yourself! Submerge half of a sweet-potato in a glass of water that's been placed on a sunny windowsill. Wait for the sprouts to form and reach 4-inches; once roots form and begin to grow a little, plant out in the garden.
