14 Store Bought Vegetables & Herbs You Can Regrow

Hello everyone this is Jack and in this video I will be regrowing 14 vegetables that you can buy from a grocery store. Number one, ginger. Get a fat piece of ginger. The piece of ginger should be at least two inches long and two inches wide. Break the ginger apart into desired pieces. Plant ginger about one inch deep into a pot containing lots of compost. Water ginger after planting. After about one month shoots of ginger will be visible Number two, green onions. Get some green onions from the grocery store. Cut the bottom part of onions with at least half an inch of onion with roots. Plant the onion by covering the roots completely in soil. The onion will start to develop shoots. Harvest shoots and add to your food as desired. Number three, garlic. Get a big piece of garlic bulb and break it into cloves. Only use big cloves for planting. To figure out the depth and spacing all you need is a thumb and a hand. The garlic should be planted about a thumb's length deep and a hand's length apart. For planting I use a wood stick instead of my thumb. Punch holes in the soil about two inches deep and six inches apart. Plant the flat end down and pointy end up. Plant the garlic in your garden beds with loose soil and the plants will produce big garlic bulbs in about eight to nine months. Number four, potatoes. Potatoes are very easy to grow. When potatoes develop little eyes you can simply plant the whole potato in the ground. Dig a hole in your garden bed and place the potatoes with eyes facing up. Cover the potatoes with soil and the plants will grow out of these potatoes and produce a lot more potatoes. Number five, carrots. Take some store-bought carrots. Cut the top part of carrot by keeping about one inch of carrot. Plant the carrots facing down After one week carrots will start to grow leaves. The macro lens clearly shows the beauty of the new leaves set by the carrots. After about one month the leaves will grow big. The plants will not produce more carrots however the leaves are edible and can be added to salads or food of your choice. Number six, lettuce. Lettuce is very easy to regrow from store-bought lettuce. Cut the bottom part of lettuce. Plant lettuce with flat and down by digging a hole in the pot and completely covering the bottom part of lettuce with soil. After two weeks lettuce will start to regrow. The lettuce is growing new leaves and they are looking beautiful. With the help of the macro lens I could even see a drop of water caught in the newly sprouted lettuce leaf. Some plants might not make it however at least half of the plants will regrow. Number seven, leeks. Leeks are grown the same way. Make sure the leeks that you choose have healthy roots. Cut the bottom part of leeks and plant the leeks in pots or garden beds. After two weeks leeks will start to grow. Number eight, celery. Celery regrows very easily. Follow the same technique by cutting the bottom part of celery and planting the celery in soil. After two weeks celery will start to regrow. Rest of the plants you can regrow are herbs and all of these will regrow from a cutting. Number nine, basil. Number ten, mint. Number eleven, rosemary. Number twelve, oregano. Number thirteen, sage and number fourteen, cyan. To grow basil from a cutting simply remove all the lower leaves. Place the basil cutting in water. If your water is heavily chlorinated use filtered water for all cuttings. After two weeks the basil cutting will develop roots. Transfer the newly rooted basil cutting to a pot or plant in your garden. The process is same for mint. Remove the lower leaves and make sure any cutting of stem you use does not have flowers or seeds. After placing the mint stem in water the stem will develop roots. Simply plant the rooted cutting in pot or your garden. Mint grows like a weed so be careful when planting mint in your garden. Only plant mint in a confined area such as a raised bed. Up close the mint leaves look really healthy. Rosemary will grow from a cutting as well. When choosing a stem make sure the stem is not woody. The stem must have green color. Remove all the lower leaves. Place the cutting of rosemary stem in water. Place all the cuttings next to a window that receives sun. Rosemary leaves might look like needles but upon closer inspection they are in fact leaves. Even in water the stem will start to grow new leaves. After the rosemary cutting develop roots simply plant in pots or in your garden. Oregano also roots very easily in water. However it does take a little longer for oregano to develop roots. Like earlier simply remove lower leaves. The stem should have only two to three sets of leaves. Cut the bottom part of the stem at 45 degree angle and place the stem in water. Oregano develops roots in about four weeks. Simply plant the newly rooted cutting in pots of your choice. Sage takes time to develop roots as well. Sage leaves have a little hook at the end to prevent water loss. Sage and rosemary are drought tolerant herbs. They do not require a lot of water. After removing lower leaves cut the sage at 45 degree angle as well. Sage also takes about a month to grow roots. Simply plant the newly rooted cutting in pots of your choice. While selecting a stem for time avoid overly brown stems. Choose a stem that is greener in color. Remove all the lower leaves and cut the stem at 45 degree angle removing the brown part of the stem completely. Place the stem in water. When the stem develop roots plant the newly rooted stem in the pot of your choice as well. I really hope you enjoyed this video and I'll see you in another video.
