Have I waited too long to plant these store bought plants?
Comments (3)Onion plants can take a fair amount of abuse and still perk up once you put them in the ground. If the brown is just a leaf dying back, they are still fine. If you're talking soft, stinky brown rot spots in the main tissue then they probably should be composted. And yes, if space is an issue interplanting the beets near the tomatoes is one of the ways to work it out nicely. You will likely pull the beets before the tomatoes are big enough to need the space the beets are in. Cheers!...See MorePlants that grow from store bought parts?
Comments (22)little bitty garlic cloves that are too bothersome to peel, collect them in a container, and then stick in the dirt instead. lemongrass, root in water seeds from longan, lychee, etc.... plant all the seeds and create a bonsai forest with them! i'm in the process of doing this right now. I grew a 20ft pear tree from a seed at the asian market! it was a ya li pear that I ate and the seed already had a root coming out, i stuck it in the dirt. The tree fruited 5 years later and it was a regular green, roundish and hard (but yummy) fruit, the kind you peel and dip in nuoc mam and sugar and chili sauce. I also took a tiny cutting fiver years ago from a meyer lemon and now have a huge 6 ft bush with tons of lemons...See MorePlanting 'store-bought' ginger root
Comments (16)When I started growing cooking ginger I just bought a healthy looking root at the grocery store and then immediatly planted it in a mid sized plastic flower pot in good soil. Then I placed the pot under my large oak tree and forgot about it. That was several years ago and it's still growing well and has even bloomed a few times. I use it in cooking from time to time but have never made tea from it....See MoreHarvest from planted store bought ginger
Comments (1)Yes, you will be able to cut a portion of the rhizomes whenever you want to. But you'll probably want to leave some in the ground to keep the plant going. I have one in a pot and I scrape away some of the soil to expose the rhizomes, then use a knife to cut off the portion that I need. What other plants can be grown from dinner trimmings? Not sure what you mean by that. Do you mean from grocery store produce? If so, then seeds of any store-bought fruit such as citrus, pomagranite, star fruit, avocado, mango, durian (though not all will grow true to the original variety), root crops (ginger, galanga, taro, etc.), cuttings of sugar cane, etc. There is an Asian market near me that sells quite a variety of unusual produce. That's where I find the coolest stuff!...See MoreUser
