Seeds are widely available from seed-saving groups, online nurseries, local garden centers, big box stores, friends, and family.

Experimenting With Veggie Scrap Starts
Most of us have tried to grow an avocado pit with some to no success. Mine became a plant but there was no chance of getting fruit, unfortunately. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a win with leftover produce debris? Fortunately, you can, and I did. I tried growing a variety of veggie scraps with some actual success. I’m a fan of free plants. It all started with my cooking career and some filched potato varieties which I planted in my garden. They produced for years, thanks to leaving a few in the ground every harvest. I became curious about growing other food plants from the remains of veggies. A quick internet search showed me that you can start plants from numerous food scraps. My first start came from a stem of basil that my sister gave me. It was accidental, as all I wanted to do was keep the... Read More
Grocery Store Produce: Adventures With Avocado Pits
The first plant I ever grew from grocery store produce was an avocado, and for the life of me, I can’t remember what made me decide to do it. I was in law school and thought of myself as a brown-thumb girl. I still remember my total amazement when the seed split and sprouted. That awe has stayed with me over the years as I garden. There is something about seeing little seeds become plants that awakens the child in all of us. My First Avocado Tree I considered myself a failure with houseplants when I was in college. I had no experience with houseplants in an Alaskan childhood and, as a busy student, simply forgot to do the most basic nurturing chores, like watering my plants or figuring out if they needed sunlight or shade. During law school, I lived in a graduate dorm on U.C. Berkeley campus. All... Read More

My First Garden – Play Seeds For A Play House
When I was about five years old, my Dad built a playhouse for me. It was probably about 6 by 8 feet (2-3 m.). He roofed it with cedar shingles, stained it a redwood color to match our house, and painted the door green. It had a play stove, sink, and refrigerator. It was the envy of all my friends. I think my Dad must have loved me very much to build such a special playhouse. I was a country kid growing up without neighborhood kids or siblings my own age, so it could be that he was hoping to keep me busy. That’s okay, too. My First Garden My playhouse was located at the end of my mom’s vegetable garden, where I could step down onto the green lawn. When it was garden planting time, Dad would plow up a tiny patch of ground behind the playhouse (outside of... Read More

Regrowing Produce – Regrowing Celery At Home
I love being thrifty with household goods, especially in the kitchen. Since I don’t have my own compost, I try to reduce food waste in creative ways. I use herb stems in stews and vegetable scraps to make stock. One hack I haven’t tried since elementary school is regrowing produce. It’s worth trying again, as more than just a science project. Regrowing Celery I remember doing this project, maybe in fifth grade, and thought it seemed magical at the time. I love celery now as an adult more than I did then, so why not regrow some from the ends of my store-bought celery? Here’s how it works: Cut the bottom two inches (5 cm.) or so off the celery bunch. Stick four toothpicks into the sides of the celery bottom so that they are evenly spaced. They should be secure in the celery but also stick out a … Read More
