Grow and Regrow

     Use your scraps to grow new things 

        Last year when the pandemic started and people were crazy over seeds we looked around to find seeds at home. One of the sought-after and most used veggies in my house is the carrot. We are always trimming the tops. Last year we put them in water and grew them a few weeks .... they failed. This year I had to do a juice diet as part of a gastro thing and we had a ton of carrots we tried every way to re grow them just trial and error and finally, it worked


Here are our steps to get it to work cut off the top leaving about an inch. Then put it into a container and drain the water every other day. We left them on the counter in full sun. When the little carrot bit gets some roots plant them in the soil. 
We put ours in a pot to see how they grow this time last time we put it in the soil and it failed. If they fail this time we will do cold frames and our greenhouse next year.

  1. I've done this with celery and lettuce. Never thought of carrots. Looking forward to see which method works to try out.
