Don't throw it away - regrow it!

Don't toss that celery base! Did you know you can use it to re-grow a new bunch of celery?


It's apparently quite simple: just stand the base in a small dish of water for a week or so until new leaves appear in the center. The leaves will be yellow at first, and once they really emerge and turn green, you can plant the celery in the ground or in a pot.




Pop your cut green onions in a glass of water and, clearly, they regrow.


... I have actually potted them up and they do grow!

Potatoes grow well (plant some skin with an "eye" on it). 
A clove of garlic will turn into a whole bulb.
Pumpkin seeds will grow a huge vine full of pumpkins for you. 
Try capsicum seeds & tomato seeds
                                                   ....any other suggestions?
