now trying this. I buy 1-2 lettuces a week and always throw the ends away so from now on trying this everytime. Thanks for the great vids. Ross from Norwich, UK
Due to " lockdown" I was thinking about growing my own vegetables. Just the video I was looking for. Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!
So glad you found this helpful. Thank you and you and yours stay safe and well also! :)
I did the same!!
If you're looking for more quarantine projects my partner made a video series called "Bread in Captivity" about how to start making sourdough in self-isolation! th-cam.com/video/02nj4xe8qXo/w-d-xo.html
Same, I already planted green onions and beans
Same here! 🙂
This is fantastic - I have a daughter who is obsessed with growing things. I'm going to share this with her. I bet we'll be having some regrown scraps in our house soon! Thank you!
I hope you do get to try these Amy! There are a whole lot more that can be regrown. Pineapple heads for one since I know you're in Hawaii. A viewer shared this video with me - th-cam.com/video/6TFvIt8nHmI/w-d-xo.html. of onions it's an incredible video outlining how to do that.
This does not work...I tried carrot, leeks
My son thinks its so cool to use the scraps to regrow the vegetables. I told him we will try it...I do not have a green thumb at all! I really think it's awesome of you to highlight channels...
That's so neat you'll try it with your son, Tay! I got to watch your last two videos but haven't gotten to comment yet. Congratulations on your son's graduation! Party looked really great too from all the cleanup you had to do with the home and fridge 😅I'm so behind in my YTing. I hope all is well with you!
@@TheFrugalMinimalist Yes, he loves doing new things. Thank you so much for continued support. Al is well, we're enjoying our summer vacation and this triple digit weather. Hope you and your family are doing great as well
Growing food from scraps is both frugal and sustainable. I bet you could be an awesome gardener. Great topic and video.
I agree! I hope to one day have a garden, it seems like a great productive way to occupy time and space. 😃
Wendy, really appreciate your gentle demeanor and calm voice...some TH-camrs are all 🔊HEY GUYS GONNA SHOUT FOR 12 MINUTES! 🔊 🙉It's nerve rattling!
Thank you for your very kind words! It’s a blessing and a curse I suppose. Many people in real life have trouble hearing me. 😂. I hope you’re having a great weekend 🤗
Same! I love that she has a calm voice. It really makes watching enjoyable.
Agreeeeeee!!!! Wendy is very zen. 😌😌😌
Thank you
Thank you for making this video. As a family with pre existing medical conditions my folks and I are all self isolating right now due to COVID 19. We're relying on grocery delivery providers to get our food and other supplies. I hope to use the veggie scraps and water to regrow our veggies, instead of seeds we're finding it hard to get seeds mailed to us now. Thanks for helping me and my family out!! Happy Easter!!
You’re very welcome. Try googling for wholesale distributors in your area. Many near me are opening up to the public and offer contactless pickup. They are often family owned and are hurting just as restaurants are since they supply the restaurants. Please stay safe and well!
Gives new meaning to "Waste not, want not".
Nice vid!
Thanking you for sharing! Fantastic ideas. Specifically the carrots! 👍😃
Another winner, Wendy! Cool project + Good nutrition + money saving. Wow!
Save your citrus seeds. You can pit them in a cheesecloth or tea bag and use as pectin to make jam from fruit and sugar.
Wow!!! Wendy, I’ve been off celebrating my birthday today and hadn’t seen this video until now! I’m so so flattered and delighted by your shout out to my channels! Thank you for such kindness. You know I have green onions regrowing on my countertop at all times. They do get stinky if you turn your back on them for too long. This video was so wonderful and right up my alley. Your shooting and editing is just amazing! Such respect for your wonderful resourcefulness and many talents, truly. Be well and thank you! This was the icing on top of a wonderful birthday day!
Happy Birthday, Melissa! 🎉 I didn't know it was your special day 😅 I'm glad to hear it was wonderful! I wish you many more!! Thank you for your kind words I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. This pales in comparison with your garden, but I do what I can with what I have 😂
The Frugal Minimalist ah, you do a marvelous job indoor gardening! Truly! I’ve tried all of your growing tricks except for romaine and bok Choy. We love eating both (so you know I loved the gentle nudge that this video gives me to try them). They looked beautiful the way you displayed them too! Thank you again! 🙏
amazed will try all this once i get my online shopping order. in covid19 times we all need to learn to grow our own food
Everyone on lockdown is definitely absolutely loving this video! Thank you ❤️
This is really cool, I live in a room so my window is my garden space. I grow avocado plants, and because the air in my room gets very dry, I'm finding that leaving them grow in water is making the leaves grow much faster and don't dry out, not like if they we're growing in soil- I've thrown out too many plants because of the air. 😕
Greetings from NYC!!😄💗🌷
Hi, I have begun growing some veggies myself using hydroponics. It is so much fun to see them grow. I have romaine lettuce, garlic, basil, carrots, yellow onion, and scallion. Thanks for sharing.
Very inspirational, just what I need to get my kids interested thanks.
Thank you very much💚 I'm going to get started today. I have garlic, green onion, , celery and carrots. Celery I ve grown like the bochoy it was fast growing too.
Another brilliant video, I also know the ban of living in a condo, but fortunately I have two community garden plots that I have with a good friend. But I still grow herbs and veggies on my counter. It drives my mom crazy.
That's so great you have the community plots! I really love that those are popping up in cities. I never thought to try looking in my own area though. Thank you for that great nugget! Ahh, yes they do take up that precious counter space. I'm trying to figure out a way to mount something inside to raise it up off the counter. But it has to be on the cheap 😂.
@@TheFrugalMinimalist Yes I am very lucky. My plot is about 3 blocks away, so I can walk to it usually. Plus it is so cheap. $25 for the season and they till it. :)
Great ideas!!! I am always stuck without green onion. Now l know how to always get more without a store run 😁
I'm so glad to hear! Just keeping them in water on the counter makes them last for longer than in the fridge for me. I hope it works well for you :)
I've heard about regrowing celery before, but not anything else. Will be giving these a go. Thank you!
That's funny because I only recently learned about celery 😂 It's fun and delicious 😃 Happy 🌱!
Thanks for showing me.
I have guinea pigs, so this is a great money saver! Thank you! :)
Thank you this will help during times of quarantine in upstate NY I'm going to try growing mung beans as well!
Good luck on the mung beans. I’m working on a video for that. Please stay safe and well!
@@TheFrugalMinimalist Thank you you as well. I'm having a hard time locating where I can buy the seeds I'd like organic and broccoli as well.
I have regrown green onions in a container in my garden that are going on 3 years old now. I just keep going out and cutting off the tops. Then I chop them and freeze in a container. To over winter them I cover the container with leaves to insulate the ground an keep frost off of them. It's pretty amazing. I'm going to try regrowing Bok Choy next.
Three years is so impressive, Martha! They are very resilient. I just bought a bag of soil and this makes me excited to try them there. I hope the bok ahoy works out well for you too! :)
Your voice is very soothing. Your video is very nice and I will try it in case the lockdown continues. I want to avoid the stores as much as possible. I subscribed.
Really great! Thanks for sharing, especially the carrot pesto recipe
I've regrown veggies for years! My favourites are green onion and celery, but I've also regrown a few types of lettuce. I'm going to try the carrot tops though! At a minimum, a lot of these small bits can be combined to make homemade veggie broth.
Loving your tips. I've been doing them years now. I even have a full grown garden. Lots of veggies. Free free. The only thing I can't grow is my TH-cam channel 😂😂😁😂
That is excellent! I have been watching some of your videos! I think the last one I saw you planted succulents from trimmings and I thought it was really great. :) Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great weekend!
@Frugal Mamma. I checked out and subscribed to your channel. Keep trying to "grow" it and don't give up.
@@GratefulBlessedImmigrant3102 I am trying to grow everything. Channel veggies indoor plants and kid's. Thank you for subscribing
Hello Friend, I enjoyed your video. I’m certainly going to try that pesto recipe. Yum! Thank you so much for sharing. Hope you are staying safe and well.
❤️💜💚
Lovely presentation here and pretty nail polish
again, she's such a great teacher! Thank you for this very groovy and valuable knowledge.
🙏 you’re very welcome!! I’m happy to share. And I really like that word groovy. ✌️😃. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. I hope you’re having a great weekend!
Fabulous! thank you for the tips!!
Wonderful idea indeed. You can also grow microgreens in your kitchen, and sprouts. Great for your salads. Also incredibly healthy.
If you place your onion roots in a container with potting mix, they will last you much longer, and they will also be stronger. The same is true for other plants that can be regrown, including a lot of kitchen herbs.
MiGardener has a video on how to regrow kitchen herbs. That saves a lot of money and is quite easily done.
I've recently started playing with this and have had great success with celery. I expected just leaves but regrew stalks even in simply water(no soil). The next batch I'll add a little liquid fertilizer to the water to see if results are better.
That’s great to know this works with celery too Ellen! I’ll definitely give that one a go. Liquid fertilizer would really help I think. I’ve read of people who use water from their fish tanks for growing vegetables. 😃. Thank you for the tip on celery!
I grow these all the time. They're great!!
Thank you for sharing.Will try regrowing my veges@home😊
THANK U VERY INFORMATIVE ! since quarantine, prices became higher for produce ! So i’m gonna try this and teach my grandma too 😁 love from Philippines !
so excited to try this and try that pesto! thankyou!
I had no idea. Thanks. I have some carrots from pre safety at home, I miss lemons and limes!
Good luck! I am missing lots of fresh produce also 😂 Good luck and stay safe!
I'm currently growing carrot tops for my rabbit to eat. 😊😊
Love this!
Jennifer Tilly's talent has no end.
I’m going to try a couple of these and see. Thank u for the ideas. Hope u have a great day
🙌 Alright! 😃 I hope you have a great day as well :)
This is so cool, I didn't know you could regrow veggies, I am so going to try this!! My son will get a kick out of doing this too! Another awesome one! You don't ever disappoint! And thanks so much for the shoutout, Wendy! That means so much to me, especially since you are one of my favorites and one of the first people I connected with on here! I hope you are enjoying your weekend!😊💛
I hope you do get to try Alicia! Yes I’ve know you my whole TH-cam life. It’s only fitting. Thank you for being awesome. I hope you’re enjoying your weekend also! 🤗
Love how you explain all of this! I am sharing this with my team! :)
This was so cool...I have never regrown stuff...maybe I will try!!😁
Loved your idea for lettuce regrowing . Could you please do a video on florescent lighting and who to set this up inside of your home and to which other vegetables you can grow as well. Thank you.
I never knew this... You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️
🙏 Thank you Veronica, I'm so happy to share! Thank you for watching and I hope you're having a great day :)
This is great! I had no idea you could do that with carrot tops. I'm going to try this!
I hope you do, Mary! I'm sure it'll do really well in those new garden beds of yours too if you choose to put them there. They should grow even better green tops in soil. 👍
Thanks for the tips and advice! Can’t wait to try carrot green pesto - I never know what to do with those luscious bunches of goodness!
Thanks Frugal Minimalist.Appreciate your video so much.Bye
Thanks! I'll do mine soon.
Thanks, will definitely try.....
Thank you!
Thank you for all your instructions! 💕 I really feel like even I could follow them 😊
Awesome video as usual.. Thanks for sharing😍 so much to learn from you, you're such an inspiration.💕💕💕
I hope you get to try some of these for your beautiful garden, Padma! I think these would grow really well outside. :)
Really great video, thank you for this!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for a charming video. 🥰
You can save the seed and grow a lemon tree too! ;-) Nice job.
Very well done. I enjoyed your video!
So useful! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome Maria! I hope you get to try these! 🤗
Thank you for this helpful video ⭐️
Excellent! Thank you so much
thanks for this tips and ideas! I always regrow my scallions/ onion chives in water.. but it only lasts 3 weeks in water.. without sunlight only artificial lights.. I will try to transfer it in soil
This is such a great idea, Wendy🌞 Love your frugal ideas and tips💚💚💚~~~Hugs Susan
😃 I'm happy to hear you liked the idea, Susan! Thank you for all your kind words and support. I hope you're having a great day!
you teach me how to grow up broccoli without seeds because i have been taking care 12 hamsters and my country in on lockdown....it's hard to buy outside and things are expensive. If you teach me how to grow up broccoli and sone veggies it could be a lot helpful for me.thank you
This is so cool 😎. Thanks for sharing 🌸
I’ve done this before! It is so easy to do! I love that you shared this with everyone!
So nice of you to mention other fellow TH-camrs. I follow Melissa on both of her channels and she is amazing! I will check out Alicia too 😊❤️
That's so neat, Jelena! I'm a fan of both Alicia and Melissa. They're just great people in general and I learn from their videos and yours as well! 🤗
Really wants to kitchen garden for everyone's house.thankyou for sharing this video.
Great idea and recipes. Will try. Love you. Thanks. 💜
🙏 I'm so glad you enjoyed them, Eileen! 😍💕
Thank you for the brilliant tips for regrowing the vegetables
during lockdown, i dont really go anywhere but making videos about this amazing from yr idea, thanks alot
Wow!!!!!!! I love it Thanks
Your filming/editing skills amaze me Wendy!! You have some of the best hacks to save money!! I love Bok choy as well soooo good!! Thanks for sharing these hacks ❤️😊
Thank you, Susy! I think I like the videoing aspect more than being videoed 😂 I've always been a behind the scenes person. I'm so glad you liked the ideas! Thank you for watching and I hope you're having a great day!! :)
Love the pesto idea
Thank you,planning to donthis at home.Hopefully I can regrow some of our veggies.
Your lettuce was bitter because it was bolting. it wanted to make seeds because it had a sense of dying... the lettuce felt either too cold or too hot, that's why it grew so tall to produce seeds.. a lettuce is sweeter wwhen it's in their bush like form
She sounds just like Bonnie from family guy
Great tips Wendy; what a fun family activity also. I think I will do this for rabbit food when we get our rabbit farm up and going. Thanks for sharing. I really liked the shout outs at the end. Full watch, big like as always! 😊👍
Neat, Vara! I think rabbits will enjoy the tops. How fun that you're going getting a rabbit farm going. Do you plan to share that on your channel? Thank you for all your support!! :)
@@TheFrugalMinimalist It might be something I share from time to time. We are hoping to get it started in a few months. We really prefer the idea of knowing where our food comes from, and rabbits are a wonderfully sustainable meat source. 🐰
great ideas,but pesto has actually pistachio and parmesan in them ,which makes them richer in flavour.Yours is very much the basic ingredient only,but also nice to try of course.
Awesome I'll have to try these🌱🌱🌱
👍 I hope it works out as well for you as it does for us! 🌱 such a cute emoji 😂
Thanks
Hi there! Excellent video! So informative and you spoke at such a easy pace it was easy to absorb the information. Quick question, why Does the remaining come back bitter? I just recently purchased them from the store and would love to try but I mainly do eat them in in salads
Thank you so much! It has to do with the lack of nutrition. Using soil or liquid fertilizer seems to help. Good luck!
WOW!!!
Cool, thank you for the great videos!!
Have you regrown zuchini? I have a plant that damaged by insects and woud like to try to regenerate the plant from a stalk that wasn't damaged. Thanks for the awesome information!
Wow thank you
Thank you! This was super helpful
These seem like really good ideas, thank you.
Fabulous - Thank you so much for this video !
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I’ve learnt so much from your channel. You give me so much helpful information and inspire me to want to better myself. I learn something new everyday. I’m excited after watching. I want to try new things and you make me think on how I could repurpose things I already have and what I don’t necessarily need. So, thank you for taking time out to share your wonderful tips and keep up the good work.
I call my bestie Tah just like your username :) I'm honored to be able to have a positive impact 🙏 Thank you for your very kind and encouraging words.
Love this I have never done carrots before or bok choy, before! I was wondering, I would love to know a traditional soup recipe that you make they always look so tasty in your videos. ❤️
Much of what I do isn't traditional because I don't have the time or I'm too lazy to do it the proper way 😅. I'll see about a soup video. Thank you for the great idea, Carisa and I hope you have a great weekend ahead :)
The Frugal Minimalist that sounds even better! Lol because I’m the same I like simple, quick recipes. Thank you 😊❤️ you have a wonderful weekend too!
ive done this a lot .I also grew a bucket full of garlic .I do that to with the veggy tops.i had some radishes that I used the tops and eat them .I was thinking why not they should be eatable to right?
That's so great to hear, Judith! Garlic would be awesome. I have a couple of cloves going now but they're not doing too well :(. Radish tops sounds awesome - yes why not?! I'll bet they're very nutritious too. Thank you for the great idea!
I eat radish tops, squash, cucumber and zucchini leaves. Sautee them In a little bit of olive oil and garlic. I also harvest the flowers from squash, cucumber and zucchini plants, chop them up and throw them in quesadillas.
You must have great quality products at your local, my carrot tops didnt grow ar ALL, my spring onions grew only about 2 or 3 cm in one week but they were my best growth, my radish tops grew about 3cm leaves but mostly just got slimy and soft and smelly, maybe rot? On the bottom, and when washing that off, the radish part itself being just mushy, fell off.. so not sure I can plant those, although they have nice leaves. I out some other radish tops straight into soil, they shot up leaves, bit healthier flesh part.. hope they can produce more radish... but I'm going to try buying carrot and celery with tops still on them, my local sells those.. and cut some of the tops off, plant.. ans hopefull they grow better... :) wondr why my carrots sidnt grow at all. I changed water daily and keep them on a heat mat. Maybe they need sun!
i think this is relay cool good work!
We have a big yard but there too many animals..this really nice..
LOVE IT!
Way to go...
I love this! I’m currently going to try and regrow my lettuce.
That's so great, it's a lot of fun to watch :)
Very informative
