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

Growing Fruit Tree Seeds – An Epic Failure That Won’t Defeat Me

That way if I fail, which occasionally I do, it’s not as much a crushing defeat. Store bought produce isn’t any different and I’ve often found these little “experiments” to be quite fun.

I’ve regrown all sorts of produce, from pineapple tops and veggie scraps to basil and other herbs. What I’ve not tried, however, at least with any success, is growing fruit tree seeds.
