When I was little we had this pineapple plant in this big ceramic pot in my grandparents’ abandoned house in the village, we didn’t have to look after it at all and every season we simply visited to harvest the fruit. It was awesome

I've tried rooting herbs so many times. Never worked. But last summer I grew a celery stalk to three feet. I harvested one stalk at a time. Kept me stocked on celery between shopping trips. Thank you for sharing this video.
Jamie, I buy used window screens at the habitat store, they are pretty cheap. Then I blast them with the hose to clean them up. I use them to cover seeds, held down by 2 bricks. They work like an incubator too and break up the rain drops into a mist so your seeds are not dislodged! Then I use them to dry herbs and plants, elevated on bricks. Just sandwich what your drying between 2 screens.
I’m a animal lover but omg I hate the squirrels and rabbits. They love my yard. The 4 acorn trees in my yard don’t make it any better. My yard is a huge buffet for them. I’m always running outside screaming noooo. They just come right back when I’m back in the house. My husband counted 13 squirrels at one time. I want to give up on gardening 😭
They are sneaky little imps, aren't they? I don't know if this will help with larger gardens, but it might. We actually had a pet squirrel a few years back that taught us this trick. Trying to find out what foods on the "safe for squirrels list" that Buddy would actually eat was as much like babysitting a toddler as you would assume! Stuff like tomatoes, he would nibble but didn't much care for, he would just put it down. The celery...oh, boy. He threw it clear across the kitchen after only a sniff! We made a juiced celery and water mixture (50-50) to spray around anything we didn't want the outdoor squirrels to eat, and it worked. We have the red squirrels here (the ones that look grey but are called red for some reason), so I don't know how well this will work with all species. A friend up north tried it with the black squirrels and he said it worked well to keep both the deer and squirrels out of his corn.
That's it! My jaw dropped I've been thrown away these scraps for years months not even thinking that I can grow anything inside of my condo I just threw away a pineapple topped the other day bok choy etc I'm keeping everything I'll cut the bottom off of all of my celery scallion pineapples lettuce and I will regrow them in populate cuz with what they doing with food my God today thank you for sharing 🙏🏽💯🤗💓
My Lady, you’re a wonderful jewel and blessing to many who are scared right now. May our Heavenly Father continue to give you the strength and wisdom to help his children.
I've started a few pineapple plants from tops, the way she shows in this video. What I didn't know until recently is that each top can be used to grow multiple plants. The top grows roots all the way around it. It can be cut into quarters and as long as each section has roots on it, it will grow into its own plant.
@@blessisrael6455 I'm sorry, I didn't see this question until just now when the person below commented and I got a notification. I'm rooting the tops in glasses of water. Once the root system is developed, I put them in pots with unmodified indoor potting soil until the plant has developed and grown a good 6 inches or so. My plants are bigger than that right now, so I'm ready to put them in the ground outside, but I don't really want to do it yet with winter coming on, so I'm about to move them to bigger pots until spring.
I am excited about taking the next step with my.....rooting green onions that are sitting on my kitchen counter. I utilize green onions tops/bottoms in many recipes!!! So....growing more....by your method gives me some joy....to attempt that. I just enjoy so much......the science of.....growing things productively!!? Thk you! Ahna Atlanta/USA
That’s awesome! Did you plant the top part of the taproot with leaves? It may produce flowers and seeds for you! It’s a cold-hardy perennial (zones 2-9) so if it thrives you won’t have to plant it again. I planted parts of roots a few years ago, but unfortunately, they rotted, the soil didn’t drain well.
Good for you! She must have not known there are benefits to regrowing them and it’s fun to watch them grow back! Were you able to harvest seeds from some you’ve regrown? Thanks for watching! Misilla
Remember to change the water daily or every two days to prevent bacteria growth if you root them in water first. You can also plant them directly in well draining soil, just keep it moist. Stay tuned for the update! Thanks for watching! Misilla
Hi I used a store bought potting soil made from sphagnum peat moss, perlite and compost and I add worm castings every two weeks.I uploaded the update, hope you check it out. Thank you!
When you plant seeds, bury or cover them with twice the width of the seeds. For lettuce, they need some light to germinate so you can just pressed them down on the soil and keep it moist. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
This is Absolutely Beautiful to Help others with their garden ( : - People are starting to grow their own crops now more than ever! Nice to have extra tips! Stay BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for your kind words and yes so many people are now growing food! So important for us to learn to do this and rewarding! If you decide to regrow the scraps, make sure to change the water daily to prevent bacteria growth or plant them directly in the soil and keep it moist. Thanks for watching! Misilla
Note: You cannot keep growing vegetables in the water forever. They will die if you see them getting light in color then get them in good dirt. You can only start them in water. And change the water once or twice a day. Also you can wrap onions in paper towels and keep wetting them. I actually have organic fruit n vegys and even squash seeds inside the squash that grows in the baskets or in the fridge without water too, LOL! My hubby retired and he was amazed at all the plants growing on the table in water. I have also just put them in the ground and kept them damp without putting them in water first and they have grown like that also. :)
Hi Joyce, I root some in water then plant in the soil and some I plant directly in the soil. I fertilize the ones in pots every two weeks and in ground about once a month . I uploaded the update and some have flowers and seed pods. We should be getting free seeds this summer. That has happened to a pumpkin I grew one year, the seeds germinated inside the pumpkins! Thanks for watching! Here’s a link to the update. Misilla th-cam.com/video/QbvxK0qJ0zI/w-d-xo.html
Not to sound rude, but there are hydroponic farmers out there who have businesses around only growing their plants in water, with the use of fertilizers and other nutrients regularly.
Hi I put them next to a window or you can place them on a windowsill. I uploaded the update, here’s the link. Thanks for watching! Misilla th-cam.com/video/QbvxK0qJ0zI/w-d-xo.html
It’s true that one can grow plants hydroponically but that is a whole other venture, you need to have the right kinds of nutrients in the water. But yes, that could be an option, I suppose.
Oyster mushrooms are really easy to regrow from stem too on aspen or oak wood shavings. The shavings must be hardwood not soft wood. The wood shavings a.k.a. substrate must be boiled for about two hours to sterilize it of any competitive microbes. Make a container with quarter inch holes for mushroom to grow out from and smaller drain holes on the bottom with micropore tape over them all to protect from contamination. make sure the container is sterile as well. Mix the substrate and mushroom stems or spawn and wait one month for the container to fully colonize, keep in a dark place while the mycelium is growing. Once fully colonized Expose the container to fresh air and indirect sunlight to trigger fruiting. Remove the micropore tape from the holes and watch mushrooms grow from it. Mushrooms like to be at 50 - 80 degrees F.
Been doing the for a few year now,. It has save me on grocery money. Bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes,. Garlic and onions are what I grow from left oves
I bought a little pack of thyme cuttings from the Wal-Mart produce section and I was able to stick some in a container and most of them are actually growing! This is so cool. 😎😊
Glad it was helpful Amber! Make sure to change the water daily or every other day to prevent bacteria growth. Also, you can plant them directly in the soil in early spring or fall when the weather cools. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by! Misilla
I have roots growing out of some old carrots in my refrigerator. The entire length of the carrot. I've noticed that if you buy carrots at the store, always buy the full-length ones, not the small, cut-up ones that come prewashed in those little bags. They'll last a lot longer and won't slime up on you. Instead, they'll dry out and grow roots.
I just went and bought organic carrots and they were rotten. I went back and found they were all rooted. Not good. I’m interested in growing carrots; how do you regrow them ?? Cut the head off ? So roots grow off carrot heads ?? Thanks !! ; ) 🙏🎚
Hi no if you plant the top end of the carrot it will produce leaves you can eat and will eventually flower and produce seeds you can plant to grow carrots☺️🙏🏽
I saved a ton of seeds from my Bok Choy and 2 different kind of Kale this year. The plants survived the cold North East winter and put out seeds this summer.
You’re welcome Sara! I put the links on description of the video to the updates. I was able to harvest a nice variety of seeds from the scraps. Thanks for watching! Misilla
We need this now more than ever! Prices are crazy! I picked up a lettuce at Walmart that was the size of a softball. It was $1.79! No way. I got some herbs today and will propagate others I have a home.
This is such such a great video, thank you for making it! This is all very simple to do and you explained it so simply and nicely. I’ve been doing this for a long time and had no idea that you could do that with some of these vegetables. After seeing this I think I want to pay more mind to buy these and reusing them for more food that’s free food. How very cool!
This makes me happy! I can most foods, so I always have lots of scraps and use most of them for stocks etc. But with the economy and food shortages I want to regrow some of my vegetables, esp greens! Thanks so much for this informative video! I might even try a pineapple! 😉
I feel like I’ve stumbled into heaven! 🙏🏽 🙋🏻♀️ First time I’ve seen your Channel, and I am crazy happy! 6-22-2022/ Today is 80 degrees here in the PacNW, after what felt like centuries of cold and massive rain, or as more commonly known, 2022 Spring in Southwest Washington, on the Columbia River! My balcony gardens are finally showing life, and I wanted to hopefully do something with the core base left from a cauliflower I’m roasting as I write, as part of my weekly meal prep! And VOILA! YOU came up in a search for “cauliflower rooting”! And to add the icing to my favorite nut flour cake, I’m overjoyed that you are in the PacNW too! We have so many micro climates, and “nuance education” is exponentially important and valuable. So THANK YOU! In fact, my schedule for the next few days, thanks to your inspiration, is getting my 45 + plant balcony garden in order, with flowers, plants, fruits and veggies to tend to. And YAHOO, THE SUN HAS ARRIVED! I was feeling kind of down about the whole thing, as the weather was not allowing me and Sasha 🐾, to do all the outdoor things we love to do. And the balcony was in pretty sad shape! I’d had a bit of a false start when a sad strawberry plant 🍓 that hasn’t produced for 5 years (aka EVER lol) thought April was berry season, and produced 12 medium sized berries that were quite sensational! But the Sun did not want to play, so the rain took its place once again as the Winner! I really cannot thank you enough….as I’ve been re-energized, and suddenly see with new eyes, that I have a gorgeous apartment, in a truly stunning setting…here in the middle of a massively landscaped, urban neighborhood with views of Mt Hood and Mt St Helen. My absolute favorite part- I’m tucked into rows of “Four Season Trees”--looking out my kitchen window right now I can count 18, all as tall as 3 story buildings! So in addition to lovely NATURE views, we enjoy all sorts of birds, primarily friendly, neighborly hummingbirds! A nearby massive stone-and-water features bring dragonflies! The types of flowers bring bees and butterflies! All this co-existing , with fantastic restaurants and multiple playgrounds, parks, duck ponds, dog parks, and open spaces, within 2 blocks of my place! Yes…..my soul has been reborn today! 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Hello neighbor! So nice to meet you! Yes, we finally have warm weather, it's been a very long spring for us. Your place sounds incredible and love that you're surrounded with nature! We have so much to be grateful for. Wishing you a wonderful season and abundance. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story and for your kind words! 💚☺️ Happy Gardening, Misilla
WOW!! I always knew that you could harvest from scraps BUT I never knew gow many vegetables could be used!! Thanks so much for all the info!! I'm new at this but with prices of fresh veggies today I am seriously wanting to start a garden. I'm going to start out small and see got I do at it. When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn my Dad had a huge garden full of veggies that my Mom would have us go pick the veggies needed for a meal. I seriously wish I would have paid better attention to all my Dad did out there. Again, thank you so much forthe.great info.. I've subscribed !!💞
Hi! You are so welcome! Glad to hear that! Here's the update of the scraps last month, going to get free seeds this summer! Have a great weekend and thanks for watching! Misilla th-cam.com/video/QbvxK0qJ0zI/w-d-xo.html
So glad you said about the onions not producing big bulbs, otherwise I'd have thought it was another misleading clickbait video. I've had spring onions grow from supermarket bases for over 2 years. I've never bothered collecting seeds as many of the supermarket vegs are hybrids. I have to admit I've never tried to grow on the celery base. As I use stem and leaves in cooking that's a great tip. Cheers! 👍
Hi Gerry, Glad you enjoyed the video! I love regrowing spring onions too and have noticed them multiply over the years. I collected celery and carrot seeds from the regrown scraps last summer. Thanks for watching! Misilla
That’s great! Some scallions are perennial so they come back every year. The biennial ones go to seed in the second season and you May get seeds! If you plant potato pieces, let them form a scab first so they don’t rot in the soil. Carrots usually go to seed on its second season if replanted! Thanks for watching! Misilla
Hi! Glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to change the water daily or every other day to prevent bacteria growth and rot. It will regrow some leaves before it flowers and go to seed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this! You and your Daughter are beautiful. Please keep posting. One thing I learned, don’t get addicted to growing things, only grow what you like...LOL.
You are simply wonderful and I thank you for the beautiful way you just SHARE the priceless gift of nature...I hope your garden grows and grows and grows ..
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! If you try this, it is best to change the water daily or every other day to prevent bacteria growth. Have a great weekend! Misilla
I love your gentle, patient, kind informative video on how to grow herbs and vegetables from kitchen scraps. I'm sick, myself, right now, but my husband and I are growing kale and arugula on our shady patio. I'm also going to purchase a quart size pot of chives when I order our groceries online this week.(I need pots/containers!) However, I also thought of purchasing a packet of the fresh spearmint and starting it in water. (I was Inspired by DIY Gardening!) Thank you for showing us ten more herbs and vegetables that can be grown from kitchen scraps and explaining how to start them in water!
Hi Christine, Thank you for your kind words. I hope you feel better soon! I'm glad to hear you've got some crops growing already and those are great choices and are nutrient-dense! Have a great day and get well soon! Misilla
@@LearnToGrow1 😇❤️💚💛🌄🌱🏵️🦋🌏🌎 🌍 I did get better, thank you! I'm glad to know that the kale and arugula are nutrient dense! I didn't receive much arugula in my "Lettuce, Salad Blend"; However, it was good and I have one plant left that only has a few, strong leaves on it. Will it spread or do I need to purchase more plants or seed? My kale, on the other hand, is flourishing! (I harvested enough to chop up and wilt into a homemade vegetable soup that my husband and I enjoyed!) I was also able to purchase a small pot of parsley and one of chives. I move my plants three times a day to keep them in the sunny places on my patio.

Do it . It has made me so happy. I feel a feeling of control in my life in a world out of control. Study everything and learn . Your focus changes your future. Gardening is like a productive mediation. Calm and focused. This is really good for the emune system. Then you can eat it. 😁😁😁😁😁😇😇😇😇😇gods work is every day love for our 🌎 EARTH.
Donna Couch my husband and I started a garden this year with tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, green beans, bell pepper, lettuce and watermelon. Still waiting on my dill seeds and thinking of adding cantaloupe. Maybe onions and garlic. Nothing planted from seed has come up yet but hoping for the best.

Do glad to hear that! If you got the Evergreen bunching type they will come back every year since they are perennial plants and hardy down to -30 F. You’re welcome and keep me posted!
You can also do this with cabbage and cauliflower. I do this every year and my kids call it my zombie garden because the scraps go into the compost pile and by spring I just transplant everything into the garden, I haven't really had to buy starters for the past couple years!!
That’s awesome! Were you able to harvest seeds from them? I harvested a nice amount of seeds from scraps last season. I’m so glad to hear you do this too! There are so many possibilities from regrowing them! Nice work and that’s wonderful to hear your children enjoy gardening! 💚💚💚
@@LearnToGrow1 Yes!! Actually, just leave a cabbage plant or two alone so it can go to seed. This year I'm going to try nappa cabbage, I have have green onions in a pot outside that I planted probably 5 years ago, they self seed and I just leave them out there even through winter and give them a little haircut whenever I need them. I bought them from the store in a little bag. My daughter wanted to do an experiment so she got a bag of the 15 bean soup and planted 15 different types of beans, OH boy!!! It really works!! HAHA 😆 😀
@@rinab4405 Omgosh that is awesome! Love it! I still have scallions from the store I planted years ago from the scraps and I get seeds from it every year. So amazing and perfect for kids to experiment with! Regrowing is such a great way to get seeds from foods you eat! 😀💚
I do this all the time! Have been saying for years that the best way to preserve /grow veg is to use the stuff you buy. I originally started doing this with spring onions (scallions to Americans) I would buy a bunch use two or three and throw the rest into the compost bin. One day I noticed one I had thrown in there had sprouted. Bam! Lights went off in my head and a revelation was born! Currently growing Garlic, peas, spring onions, potatoes lettuces and tomatoes. All for the price I paid for the initial purchase.
Exactly, Melanie! It’s a good method of being resourceful and sustainable! Good for you!!! I’m trying out more varieties! I also video uploaded an update on the these veggie scraps! Hope you check out out. 😊Thanks for watching! Misilla
No problem! Yes I grow cloves for the greens and for garlic bulbs. Here’s a link to the garlic planting video. Thanks for watching! Misilla th-cam.com/video/SFYuWJxirIo/w-d-xo.html
thanks so much for sharing, this is really inspiring for us considering living in Singapore and we have to buy over-priced imported veggies. Gonna make a good usage for our recycled glass jars. Your hair looks great by the way "D take care!
If you will slice an apple and set it under the base of your pineapple plant the gas the apple puts off as it rots will trigger the pineapple plant to fruit. I have seen a pineapple the second year by doing the apple trick.

Those squirrels are no joke. They watch me plant seeds only to go dig them up to eat. 😂😑

Eating more fruits and vegetables so therefore I am growing my own now. Very helpful tips. Thanks
You’re welcome ☺️
Now I just have to go run in a thriftstore to amass those tiny cute containers for cheap. So gleeeeng! I am inspired.
Did you start some? I harvest seeds from the scraps I grew last year (Bok choy, scallions, celery and carrots).
This is Absolutely Beautiful to Help others with their garden ( : - People are starting to grow their own crops now more than ever! Nice to have extra tips! Stay BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for your kind words and yes so many people are now growing food! So important for us to learn to do this and rewarding! If you decide to regrow the scraps, make sure to change the water daily to prevent bacteria growth or plant them directly in the soil and keep it moist. Thanks for watching! Misilla
My friend chickie does this and it’s working for him. He’s quite the little farmer.
Note: You cannot keep growing vegetables in the water forever. They will die if you see them getting light in color then get them in good dirt.
You can only start them in water.
And change the water once or twice a day.
Also you can wrap onions in paper towels and keep wetting them.
I actually have organic fruit n vegys and even squash seeds inside the squash that grows in the baskets or in the fridge without water too, LOL!
My hubby retired and he was amazed at all the plants growing on the table in water. I have also just put them in the ground and kept them damp without putting them in water first and they have grown like that also. :)
Hi Joyce, I root some in water then plant in the soil and some I plant directly in the soil. I fertilize the ones in pots every two weeks and in ground about once a month . I uploaded the update and some have flowers and seed pods. We should be getting free seeds this summer. That has happened to a pumpkin I grew one year, the seeds germinated inside the pumpkins! Thanks for watching! Here’s a link to the update. Misilla

Not to sound rude, but there are hydroponic farmers out there who have businesses around only growing their plants in water, with the use of fertilizers and other nutrients regularly.
did you need to put them in a sunny window for them to root? did they get any heat at all to root?
Hi I put them next to a window or you can place them on a windowsill. I uploaded the update, here’s the link. Thanks for watching! Misilla

It’s true that one can grow plants hydroponically but that is a whole other venture, you need to have the right kinds of nutrients in the water. But yes, that could be an option, I suppose.
I plan to start a small garden in my apartment balcony 😁
Same 😊
Oyster mushrooms are really easy to regrow from stem too on aspen or oak wood shavings. The shavings must be hardwood not soft wood. The wood shavings a.k.a. substrate must be boiled for about two hours to sterilize it of any competitive microbes. Make a container with quarter inch holes for mushroom to grow out from and smaller drain holes on the bottom with micropore tape over them all to protect from contamination. make sure the container is sterile as well. Mix the substrate and mushroom stems or spawn and wait one month for the container to fully colonize, keep in a dark place while the mycelium is growing. Once fully colonized Expose the container to fresh air and indirect sunlight to trigger fruiting. Remove the micropore tape from the holes and watch mushrooms grow from it. Mushrooms like to be at 50 - 80 degrees F.
We’re growing mushrooms indoors right now. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
Never knew you could do this!
I’m so excited you’re in the PNW. I have been searching for videos that can help me in this environment. Thank you for sharing!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by and hope you find the videos helpful! Did you plant your spring garden already? Have a good rest of the week! Misilla
Been doing the for a few year now,. It has save me on grocery money. Bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes,. Garlic and onions are what I grow from left oves
That’s great, Keith! Love how we can get something out of what’s usually thrown out or composted.
I bought a little pack of thyme cuttings from the Wal-Mart produce section and I was able to stick some in a container and most of them are actually growing! This is so cool. 😎😊
That is wonderful!! Yay free plants!!!
Yessss!!! You're in the PNW! This is super helpful for me as a beginner.
Glad it was helpful Amber! Make sure to change the water daily or every other day to prevent bacteria growth. Also, you can plant them directly in the soil in early spring or fall when the weather cools. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by! Misilla
I have roots growing out of some old carrots in my refrigerator. The entire length of the carrot. I've noticed that if you buy carrots at the store, always buy the full-length ones, not the small, cut-up ones that come prewashed in those little bags. They'll last a lot longer and won't slime up on you. Instead, they'll dry out and grow roots.
I agree! The ones not peeled are more flavorful too!
I just went and bought organic carrots and they were rotten. I went back and found they were all rooted. Not good. I’m interested in growing carrots; how do you regrow them ?? Cut the head off ? So roots grow off carrot heads ??
Thanks !! ; ) 🙏🎚
Hi no if you plant the top end of the carrot it will produce leaves you can eat and will eventually flower and produce seeds you can plant to grow carrots☺️🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this amazing information. I will have to try these ideas.
You're welcome, Lynda! Thanks for watching!
I saved a ton of seeds from my Bok Choy and 2 different kind of Kale this year. The plants survived the cold North East winter and put out seeds this summer.
I just discovered your channel today and look forward to binge watching your videos!
Thank you so much, Kim! :)
This video was so helpful with seeing the progress to how we should plant and what to expect! Thanks a bunch
You’re welcome Sara! I put the links on description of the video to the updates. I was able to harvest a nice variety of seeds from the scraps. Thanks for watching! Misilla
THANK YOU, MY JOURNEY BEGINS
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
We need this now more than ever! Prices are crazy! I picked up a lettuce at Walmart that was the size of a softball. It was $1.79! No way. I got some herbs today and will propagate others I have a home.
Hi Ann, I agree with the rising cost of living, it's important to learn to grow some food. Thanks for watching!
This is such such a great video, thank you for making it! This is all very simple to do and you explained it so simply and nicely. I’ve been doing this for a long time and had no idea that you could do that with some of these vegetables. After seeing this I think I want to pay more mind to buy these and reusing them for more food that’s free food. How very cool!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
This makes me happy! I can most foods, so I always have lots of scraps and use most of them for stocks etc. But with the economy and food shortages I want to regrow some of my vegetables, esp greens! Thanks so much for this informative video! I might even try a pineapple! 😉
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
I feel like I’ve stumbled into heaven! 🙏🏽 🙋🏻♀️
First time I’ve seen your Channel, and I am crazy happy!
6-22-2022/ Today is 80 degrees here in the PacNW, after what felt like centuries of cold and massive rain, or as more commonly known, 2022 Spring in Southwest Washington, on the Columbia River!
My balcony gardens are finally showing life, and I wanted to hopefully do something with the core base left from a cauliflower I’m roasting as I write, as part of my weekly meal prep! And VOILA!
YOU came up in a search for “cauliflower rooting”!
And to add the icing to my favorite nut flour cake, I’m overjoyed that you are in the PacNW too! We have so many micro climates, and “nuance education” is exponentially important and valuable. So THANK YOU!
In fact, my schedule for the next few days, thanks to your inspiration, is getting my 45 + plant balcony garden in order, with flowers, plants, fruits and veggies to tend to.
And YAHOO, THE SUN HAS ARRIVED!
I was feeling kind of down about the whole thing, as the weather was not allowing me and Sasha 🐾, to do all the outdoor things we love to do. And the balcony was in pretty sad shape!
I’d had a bit of a false start when a sad strawberry plant 🍓 that hasn’t produced for 5 years (aka EVER lol) thought April was berry season, and produced 12 medium sized berries that were quite sensational! But the Sun did not want to play, so the rain took its place once again as the Winner!
I really cannot thank you enough….as I’ve been re-energized, and suddenly see with new eyes, that I have a gorgeous apartment, in a truly stunning setting…here in the middle of a massively landscaped, urban neighborhood with views of Mt Hood and Mt St Helen. My absolute favorite part- I’m tucked into rows of “Four Season Trees”--looking out my kitchen window right now I can count 18, all as tall as 3 story buildings!
So in addition to lovely NATURE views, we enjoy all sorts of birds, primarily friendly, neighborly hummingbirds! A nearby massive stone-and-water features bring dragonflies! The types of flowers bring bees and butterflies! All this co-existing , with fantastic restaurants and multiple playgrounds, parks, duck ponds, dog parks, and open spaces, within 2 blocks of my place!
Yes…..my soul has been reborn today! 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Hello neighbor! So nice to meet you! Yes, we finally have warm weather, it's been a very long spring for us. Your place sounds incredible and love that you're surrounded with nature! We have so much to be grateful for. Wishing you a wonderful season and abundance. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story and for your kind words! 💚☺️ Happy Gardening, Misilla
I love your videos. This is my 3rd year gardening, but my first year watching videos and researching. Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome, Athena. Thanks for watching!
That's how it looks in my place as well. Isn't it fascinating that kitchen scraps grow again. Another bonus are the free seeds 👍
Love it!
WOW!! I always knew that you could harvest from scraps BUT I never knew gow many vegetables could be used!! Thanks so much for all the info!! I'm new at this but with prices of fresh veggies today I am seriously wanting to start a garden. I'm going to start out small and see got I do at it. When I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn my Dad had a huge garden full of veggies that my Mom would have us go pick the veggies needed for a meal. I seriously wish I would have paid better attention to all my Dad did out there. Again, thank you so much forthe.great info..
I've subscribed !!💞
I’m glad you enjoyed this Linda! Those are wonderful memories! It’s never too late to learn to grow food. You can do it! Happy spring! 💕☺️
Love this video.It helped a lot.First time growing and this made it so much easier.I saved alot of seed money.Thanks so much
Hi! You are so welcome! Glad to hear that! Here's the update of the scraps last month, going to get free seeds this summer! Have a great weekend and thanks for watching! Misilla
th-cam.com/video/QbvxK0qJ0zI/w-d-xo.html
So glad you said about the onions not producing big bulbs, otherwise I'd have thought it was another misleading clickbait video.
I've had spring onions grow from supermarket bases for over 2 years.
I've never bothered collecting seeds as many of the supermarket vegs are hybrids.
I have to admit I've never tried to grow on the celery base. As I use stem and leaves in cooking that's a great tip. Cheers! 👍
Hi Gerry,
Glad you enjoyed the video! I love regrowing spring onions too and have noticed them multiply over the years. I collected celery and carrot seeds from the regrown scraps last summer.
Thanks for watching! Misilla
Thanks for this video. My family and I eat a lot of fruits and veggies. We can definitely save if we grow our own.
You’re welcome!
Praise Yah! I thank him for the food and things he's given us!
OH WOW...
I've been growing my green onions in my container for a year now.
I'm going to try carrots & potatoes.
That’s great! Some scallions are perennial so they come back every year. The biennial ones go to seed in the second season and you May get seeds!
If you plant potato pieces, let them form a scab first so they don’t rot in the soil. Carrots usually go to seed on its second season if replanted! Thanks for watching! Misilla
@@LearnToGrow1 yes the onions grow so fast.
thank you for these tips.
You’re welcome!
I really, really appreciate the more Natural stuff you are sharing with us MAY GOD BLESS You and your Family🌷🦋
Thank you so much! Blessings to you and your family also!
My pineappleplant did grow a pineapple in the second year. (The flower looks awesome by the way.)
I can't wait! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing with us your vlogs now we know how to regrow some vegetable in the kitchen,,,thank you so much and God Bless❤️🙏👍❤️
You’re welcome and God Bless 🙏🏽❤️
I learned a lot from the video thank you ❤
You’re welcome 😍
awesome, just started regrowing from the grocery last week. i love the video.
That’s great! Thank you Chanell!
Found this video by an accident
U made me wanna try it out 🥰
I tried the lettuce , i hope it grows healthier 🥰
Hi! Glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to change the water daily or every other day to prevent bacteria growth and rot. It will regrow some leaves before it flowers and go to seed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this! You and your Daughter are beautiful. Please keep posting. One thing I learned, don’t get addicted to growing things, only grow what you like...LOL.
Thank you co much Raquel! That is a good lesson! :) Have a great day! Misilla
I love this video!
Thank you!
You are simply wonderful and I thank you for the beautiful way you just SHARE the priceless gift of nature...I hope your garden grows and grows and grows ..
Thank you so much for your kind words!!! If you try this, it is best to change the water daily or every other day to prevent bacteria growth. Have a great weekend! Misilla
I love your gentle, patient, kind informative video on how to grow herbs and vegetables from kitchen scraps. I'm sick, myself, right now, but my husband and I are growing kale and arugula on our shady patio. I'm also going to purchase a quart size pot of chives when I order our groceries online this week.(I need pots/containers!) However, I also thought of purchasing a packet of the fresh spearmint and starting it in water. (I was Inspired by DIY Gardening!) Thank you for showing us ten more herbs and vegetables that can be grown from kitchen scraps and explaining how to start them in water!
Hi Christine, Thank you for your kind words. I hope you feel better soon! I'm glad to hear you've got some crops growing already and those are great choices and are nutrient-dense! Have a great day and get well soon! Misilla
@@LearnToGrow1 😇❤️💚💛🌄🌱🏵️🦋🌏🌎 🌍 I did get better, thank you! I'm glad to know that the kale and arugula are nutrient dense! I didn't receive much arugula in my "Lettuce, Salad Blend"; However, it was good and I have one plant left that only has a few, strong leaves on it. Will it spread or do I need to purchase more plants or seed? My kale, on the other hand, is flourishing! (I harvested enough to chop up and wilt into a homemade vegetable soup that my husband and I enjoyed!) I was also able to purchase a small pot of parsley and one of chives. I move my plants three times a day to keep them in the sunny places on my patio.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😊
So simply and perfect thank you
You’re welcome! Just make sure to change the water daily or every two days to prevent bacteria growth. Here’s the update I uploaded last week. Thanks for watching! Here’s the link:

@@LearnToGrow1 ♡♡♡♡♡
Do it . It has made me so happy. I feel a feeling of control in my life in a world out of control. Study everything and learn . Your focus changes your future. Gardening is like a productive mediation. Calm and focused. This is really good for the emune system. Then you can eat it. 😁😁😁😁😁😇😇😇😇😇gods work is every day love for our 🌎 EARTH.
Same here
Donna Couch my husband and I started a garden this year with tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, green beans, bell pepper, lettuce and watermelon. Still waiting on my dill seeds and thinking of adding cantaloupe. Maybe onions and garlic. Nothing planted from seed has come up yet but hoping for the best.
First time plant timer! Hope my potatoes actually grow! 😊
Wishing you luck! Hope they are doing well!
I have regrown from the seeds but never try to regrow these vegetables thanks for the information.
You are most welcome :)
I will have to do this for winter season but indoors, because of the snow., thanks for mentioning the time they take to grow.
You're welcome!
I loved this video thankyou so much I will be adding to my garden
You’re welcome! I left this information out...Remember, to change the water daily or every two days to prevent bacteria growth if you root You can also plant them directly in well draining soil, just keep it moist. I’ll do an update soon!
Thanks for watching! Misilla
u can also add sweet potatoes cutting and kangkong ( water spinach).
gtk about the pineapple 👍
Smart, fun and cost effective ✌️

Thanks
Thank you!
Thanks for the ideas! You can use tulle (a veil like cloth) to protect your vegetables from insects eating the leaves. Inexpensive material on Ebay.
You're welcome and thanks!
Thank you for sharing very kind woman
Glad you enjoyed! You’re welcome ☺️
Rosemary and
🥔🥔🥔 😋

Great! Ido the same thing with some of store bought veggies. It’s amazing how spring onions grow so fast and big in no time. And it doesn’t die over winter😌 right now I’m trying kale 🤞🏼 hopefully it works out.
Plants are incredible! Nice! Keep us posted. Thanks for watching!
I really love this video... I love gardening vegetables
So glad to hear that! Thank you!
This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting this video 🙏💗

I'm going to give this a try
Amazing!
Thank you so much ... I’m regrowing scallions!! I’m on day 5 and I seee significant growth .
Do glad to hear that! If you got the Evergreen bunching type they will come back every year since they are perennial plants and hardy down to -30 F.
You’re welcome and keep me posted!
Thank you for sharing. You've done a great job yourself.
You’re welcome, Jamie! I’ll upload the update by tomorrow morning! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for watching! Misilla
Good video i will try it i think my parents are gonna get happy like this is very good tips icording to me
Thank you and have fun!
You can also do this with cabbage and cauliflower. I do this every year and my kids call it my zombie garden because the scraps go into the compost pile and by spring I just transplant everything into the garden, I haven't really had to buy starters for the past couple years!!
That’s awesome! Were you able to harvest seeds from them? I harvested a nice amount of seeds from scraps last season. I’m so glad to hear you do this too! There are so many possibilities from regrowing them! Nice work and that’s wonderful to hear your children enjoy gardening! 💚💚💚
We never know unless we try! 😀
@@LearnToGrow1 Yes!! Actually, just leave a cabbage plant or two alone so it can go to seed. This year I'm going to try nappa cabbage, I have have green onions in a pot outside that I planted probably 5 years ago, they self seed and I just leave them out there even through winter and give them a little haircut whenever I need them. I bought them from the store in a little bag.
My daughter wanted to do an experiment so she got a bag of the 15 bean soup and planted 15 different types of beans, OH boy!!! It really works!! HAHA 😆 😀
@@rinab4405 Omgosh that is awesome! Love it! I still have scallions from the store I planted years ago from the scraps and I get seeds from it every year. So amazing and perfect for kids to experiment with! Regrowing is such a great way to get seeds from foods you eat! 😀💚
YES! OKAY so it's NOT just me!! HAHAH 🤦
I do this all the time! Have been saying for years that the best way to preserve /grow veg is to use the stuff you buy. I originally started doing this with spring onions (scallions to Americans) I would buy a bunch use two or three and throw the rest into the compost bin. One day I noticed one I had thrown in there had sprouted. Bam! Lights went off in my head and a revelation was born! Currently growing Garlic, peas, spring onions, potatoes lettuces and tomatoes. All for the price I paid for the initial purchase.
Exactly, Melanie! It’s a good method of being resourceful and sustainable! Good for you!!! I’m trying out more varieties! I also video uploaded an update on the these veggie scraps! Hope you check out out. 😊Thanks for watching! Misilla
@@LearnToGrow1 Thanks for posting! More people need to know this stuff. Have you tried garlic?
No problem! Yes I grow cloves for the greens and for garlic bulbs. Here’s a link to the garlic planting video. Thanks for watching! Misilla

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Happy to hear you’re feeling better. For a complete novice, can you link a video on how to gather the different seeds and then what you do with them.
Thanks Dawn, I uploaded an update of the seeds, here is the link below. th-cam.com/video/EYJbQJa_xB4/w-d-xo.html
Just like life learn, learn to grow
If you will slice an apple and set it under the base of your pineapple plant the gas the apple puts off as it rots will trigger the pineapple plant to fruit. I have seen a pineapple the second year by doing the apple trick.
