If you love gardening, but don't have the space to grow your own produce from seed, then this trick is definitely worth a shot.
We all buy fresh produce from our local grocer, but many of us don't know that the scraps can actually be saved for regrowth projects!
That's right, you can REGROW your head of lettuce, romaine, celery and green onions!
Here's how you can regrow lettuce:
It's not that difficult to regrow produce and once you incorporate it into your life, you'll wonder why you didn't start sooner. It's especially nice to have fresh-grown produce right in your kitchen for days when you don't feel like going to the grocery store, or even in the chilly winter months.
Experiment with different lettuces and even green onions to find the right earth/sunlight location for you. Remember, to water your little garden and, as always, wash the leaves before you serve!
Directions:
1. Chop off a few inches from the bottom of the heart
2. Put the heart into about half an inch of water
3. Keep refreshing the water every couple of days and allow it to get some light
4. You'll want it to grow long enough to get a good harvest and begin the process again
5. When you're ready to harvest, remember to trim off the outer leaves of your starter heart
6. You can even plant the newly-sprouted hearts in a pot of soil or your garden!
