Click on the link. You can regrow a lot of things from what you might otherwise throw away.
Would come in rather handy in tough times.

I want to grow a cow from a discarded T-Bone.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

That will take more than a bowl of water and some tooth picks.

Strange that growing potatoes from chunks with eyes was not on the list, though sweet potatoes were.

I've regrown green onions from the roots, handy to have on a windowsill.  If you plant garlic cloves you will eventually get an entirely new bulb of garlic, not just the shoots.

Years ago, I kept my potatoes under the sink.  One had rolled out of sight.  My son was little at the time when he found it.  He was delighted and said that he had found his very own reindeer plant.   :-)

Yeah--you'll need some healing white light, at the mimimum. :whistling:

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

I grow lemongrass in a container in the garden...It is a multi-use plant, first great in Asian food. Second take the blade and crush it in your hand and rub on your skin for a natural form of mosquito repellent....does not last long about the time it takes to get the grill going and finish cooking, but you can always reapply.
Teach a man to build a fire, and he will be warm for a night. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life!!!!

Knowledge is half the battle.
The other half is violence!
