There are various vegetables and herbs that
are staples in almost every meal. Normally, this means you’d have to
buy them. Although produce is relatively cheap, continuously buying it
means that costs add up over time. That’s why I’ve chosen to take a
different route and plant whatever I can so that I can grow my own
produce and save money each time I go to the grocery store. Here’s a
list of vegetables and herbs that only need planting once, and will keep
re-growing forever:
1. Garlic
Sprouting garlic is just too bitter to cook
with, but you shouldn’t throw the sprouts away – put them in a glass of
water and leave them to grow instead. They are much milder on the
palate than garlic cloves, and make a fantastic complement to salads,
pasta, or even used as a garnish.
2. Carrots
The usual thing to do with the ends of
carrots is to throw them in the garbage. Try placing them in a plastic
container with a little water, leaving new greens to sprout out of them.
Once they have grown, use as a garnish or in salads.
3. Basil
Take some basil stems that are
approximately four inches in length and place in a glass of water. Leave
in direct sunlight until roots that are about two inches long begin to
sprout from them. At this point, plant in a pot to grow a full basil
plant.
4. Scallion
Re-grow a full scallion in just five days
by using leftover scraps. Leave about an inch above the roots and place
in a small glass of water. They’ll grow to their full size very rapidly.
5. Romaine Lettuce
If you happen to have a stem from a romaine
lettuce that’s still intact, place the stump in a bowl filled with
approximately half an inch of water. Leave it on a windowsill in your
home and you’ll see new leaves in as little as two weeks. The lettuce
will be fully regrown in three to four weeks.
