Scallions - You can regrow scallions by leaving an inch attached to the roots and place them in a small glass with a little water in a well-lit room.



Garlic - When garlic begins to sprout, you can put them in a glass with a little water and grow garlic sprouts. The sprouts have a mild flavor than garlic and can be added to salads, pasta and other dishes.



Bok Choy - Bok choy can be regrown by placing the root end in water in a well-lit area. In 1-2 weeks , you can transplant it to a pot with soil and grow a full new head.



Carrots - Put carrot tops in a dish with a little water. Set the dish in a well-lit room or a window sill. You’ll have carrot tops to use in salads.



Basil - Put clippings from basil with 3 to 4-inch stems in a glass of water and place it in direct sunlight. When the roots are about 2 inches long, plant them in pots to and in time it will grow a full basil plant.



Celery - Cut off the base of the celery and place it in a saucer or shallow bowl of warm water in the sun. Leaves will begin to thicken and grow in the middle of the base, then transfer the celery to soil.



Romaine Lettuce - Put romaine lettuce stumps in a 1/2 inch of water. Re-water to keep water level at 1/2 inch. After a few days, roots and new leaves will appear and you can transplant it into soil.



Cilantro - The stems of cilantro will grown when placed in a glass of water. Once the roots are long enough, plant them in a pot in a well-lit room. You will have a full plant in a few months.

I stick the roots of green onions I dirt outside all the time. Works great. I grow the roots in basil I've cut. Haven't done the others though.

You can also get an avocado pit to sprout by sticking 3 toothpicks into it to suspend it over a cup of water. You can have your own free avocado tree.

Pineapple tops can also be rooted and grown

Just don't let them freeze in the winter.

I always plant onion tops/scallions & they will grow & grow forever. I have an old round metal container that I filled up w garden soil & I just stick the ends in there & pay little attention to them, except when I'm ready to cut them. If I haven't used them in a while & they get long, I cut them up & keep tem in the freezer, makes for easy additions to gravy

The garlic dish is just really pretty. Almost artistic presentation.

I don't think this tree will produce any avocados.

I'm definitely gonna have to try the cilantro. I have probably bought 10 plants trying to grow it in my yard with no luck. Maybe indoors is the way to go.
