The weather is cold and there is no hope of growing anything outdoors, for the moment.  The good news is that there are several vegetables you can grow indoors.  I read a blog post about a week ago that outlined a list of vegetables that you can grow indoors, for FREE.

Disclaimer: You do have to buy the vegetables the first time around.

You simply cut off the base and place the freshly cut bottom in water.  These plants will re-root and you can grow your own vegetables.  The vegetables they found this to work on so far include: lettuce, celery, green onions, bok choy, garlic, ginger, basil, potatoes & carrots.  To learn more about their research you can visit, Re-grow your own groceries.

I am trying this with cauliflower.  I figure the base of cauliflower is similar to lettuce.  Stay tuned to see what happens.  Here is a picture about five days in.  The good news is that it is still living and green.  I will give you an update in about a week.

Nerdy…yes, but so fun!
