• A single clove of a piece of Garlic is enough to use in order to re-grow the entire vegetable. Plant with the root end downward in direct sunlight and see the impressive results of Nature. Keep in mind that cutting the shoots will force the plant to make a big bulb. The important thing to remember is that – like in the case of ginger – you can re-grow it again and again without buying a new one soon.

• Ginger is also very easy to work with. The part you are interested in is the thick knobby bit, known as the rhizome. Put one such piece in some potted soil with the buds facing up and in a moist and warm setting, although not in direct sunlight. When the new roots rise up and the plant is fully grown, just repeat the instruction here to re-re-grow a ginger fruit.

• Lemongrass is not much different than normal grass. The root end should go into a jar with little water but transferred into a pot when it begins to grow again. Ready to be harvested when the stalks have one foot height.

• Fennel, Scallions, Onions and Leeks can be re-grown if using the white root end. Put it into a glass jar and pour a bit of water over it. Keep it in a well lit area (like the kitchen window) and soon enough you will be able to notice the green leaves sprouting. When it’s of a decent size, cut it away and use in your dishes. Freshen up the water supply and your vegetable is ready to grow again.

• Mushrooms, although are hard to re-grow, it’s not impossible! The preferred medium for mushrooms is a pot filled with a mix of soil and compost. In daytime, filtered light will do the job, while during the night, it’s better to leave it a cool temperature. The part which should go into the soil is the stalk with the head removed. But be careful to leave the top part unburied. In a matter of days you will know if the base has re-grown a new mushroom.

Have you ever cooked with lemongrass? If you have, you know just how incredible the flavor is and how it can transform a plain dish into something mouth watering. The problem for us is finding it. Our local grocery store doesn't carry it and the specialty shops that do are not close by. Now that we know it can be grown at home, we're going to do it! If you've never added lemongrass to chicken soup, try it out. It's pretty incredible.

We really enjoyed this list and would like to give all the credit to the awesome folks at Goods Home & Garden! They are a very helpful source to get tips and tricks on all things home, garden, household and more.

Also, we mentioned avocado seeds on page 1. If you did not know that you can grow your own avocados from avocado seeds, then you're in for a treat. Sometimes it can be tricky getting the process started, but to begin you only need an avocado seed, four toothpicks, a glass and some water.

The avocado seed shape resembles an egg. So with the pointy part sticking upwards, carefully push the 4 toothpicks into the side at the seeds widest point. Think of it as though you're putting the toothpicks into the seeds “hips”. Once these toothpicks are secured, you'll want to fill a glass with water and place the avocado seed in the water with the toothpicks preventing it from being fully submerged. Then you wait! In 2 to 8 weeks, a stem should grow from the bottom. Once this happens, you'll plant the seed (with the stem) into your soil. Preferably in a place that gets plenty of sunlight, and wait for it to grow!
