Greetings from the Pacific Northwest! I’m Missilla, and today I’m excited to share how you can transform your kitchen scraps into a bountiful supply of leafy greens and seeds. This is a fantastic and engaging activity you can do with your kids, all while giving back to the environment.
Getting Started with Regrowing Scraps
I began regrowing my vegetable scraps about four weeks ago. For this project, I started the scraps indoors in water before transplanting them into containers outdoors. Some scraps were planted directly into outdoor containers. Here’s a step-by-step guide based on my four-week progress.

For instance, pineapple tops and potato pieces are ideal candidates for this method. A pineapple top, after rooting, can be transferred to a pot with cactus potting mix.
