We're all starting to think about our gardens this year - here is a good way to get started. Grow celery and lettuce from scraps on your windowsill!
There are many things we can grow from our kitchen scraps - it's fun to watch new sprout from the old. Within a day I can see celery sprouting after I pop it into water to get it started.
This is baby lettuce from Aldis - Just cut off the bottom, sit it in water on the windowsill and eventually plant it in some good potting soil and watch it grow.
Even if you don't have a garden, this is a fun way to bring the outdoors inside. It's would be a great project for your kids or grandkids.
Here it is after growing for a few months through out the winter.

UPDATE: Check out my lunch...I ate all the baby lettuce in the picture above for lunch today! Yumm!
Enjoyed the project?

Val Frania {Love My DIY Home} on Mar 29, 2016That was an interesting article. I have a pineapple waiting to be cut. I think I'll try to regrow it.

Lynn Palmatier on Mar 29, 2016@Val Frania {Love My DIY Home} My sister used to do that. They are a tropical climate fruit so remember that when you place it in a sunny spot. She moved to Florida and did them in her yard, they can get big, so plant with that in mind. May need repotting and wrap a towel around it when doing so, leaves are sharp.
