A garden made of nothing! Or 6 plants that can be grown from vegetable leftovers
Do you eat vegetables that you buy in a store or market completely? Or do you sometimes throw something away? I think you are throwing something into the trash can, because "green tea" is often not fully used, and it is stored for an extremely short time! And you do it in vain. Since the remnants of greenery can still be grown into a decent addition to everyday dishes.
Good afternoon dear friends!
At the same time, you do not have to buy a special soil or a complexly arranged tray. It is enough to "plant" the remnants of vegetables purchased in the store in a glass of water. And that's it! They will quickly grow back and an edible green tea will appear, which will live on your windowsill for a long time. The only thing you need to know and understand is what greens are capable of such a second life!
And for this I have prepared a material with a small list of plants that can be grown in a similar way.
1.Salad. Did you know that the salad, which is sold in the store, is capable of giving a second harvest? Not! But maybe - and the second, and the third... To do this, you need to carefully separate the upper leaves from the root system. And then place the lower part in a wide glass or plastic glass with water. After that, you just have to put the container on the windowsill, preferably from the sunny side, and periodically renew the water in it. Everything!
After a few days, the first leaves will appear, which can be used to decorate dishes or in a salad.
2.Green onions. Having bought green onions in the store, do not rush to use its white onion for food. It will be useful to you for further growing your own crop. Which will appear at you in some 5-7 days. So, first, carefully cut off all the onion feathers, leaving the onion and a small petiole (4-6 cm). Then place the onion in a tall glass of water and wait for the above date.
Onions actually grow well without soil, just remember to add fresh water occasionally.
3.Fennel. If you are not aware, then this is an extremely valuable and useful plant that helps cleanse the body and speeds up metabolism. Moreover, the technology of its cultivation is quite simple! Something like a salad. You just need to leave the root part, which should then be put in a shallow tray with a little water. And then put this container in a well-lit place. Actually, that's all.
It remains only to wait for the green sprouts, which can be used for food.
4.Lemongrass. Quite a rare guest in Russian stores. Nevertheless, you can find it if you set a goal. Asian food lovers will understand! So you bought lemongrass. Now take the bottom of the plant 6-8 centimeters long and place it in a tall glass. Then fill it with water and wait for the harvest.
Now you don't have to go shopping in search of lemon grass for Thai dishes or exotic soft drinks.
5.Celery. Looking to grow celery? No problem! Cut about 5 cm from the bottom and then place it in a wide glass, clear salad bowl, or small tray of water. That's all! After 5-6 days, you will have the first greens, which can be easily added to dishes or even dried, preserving the fragrant seasoning for the future.
By the way, you can grow both stalked celery and root. Get more greenery from the latter.
6.Garlic. Do you love garlic as I love it? Yes! Then how about trying to grow it at home - on the windowsill? To do this, you need to plant a few cloves of garlic in a pot with soil, which will need to be provided with regular watering. That's it, in some 3-4 months you will take off your first freshest harvest.
But if your garlic has already sprouted and has lost its taste, then you can carefully divide it into cloves and place them in a glass of water for a couple of days. Soon you will have long green arrows, which you can add to a salad or decorate with them cold cuts.
