A few weeks ago, I posted about a story I’d found regarding growing a garden from your kitchen scraps. I fell in love with this idea. I’ve always had a gift when it comes to growing trees (and yet, my trees never stay with me long), and it has been a good long time since I’ve had any plant at all.
I’m used to the ever-present green of the Pacific Northwest, so moving to Calgary with its winter coat of beige has been a bit of an adjustment for me (to say the least).
To help ease my transition, I have picked up an ivy vine (ivy is nearly impossible to kill, so I figure it can probably survive anywhere), and I’m starting an herb garden this spring.
So far as my little kitchen trees go, here is their progress so far:
My baby apple tree seems to be doing well. My first set of lemon seeds didn’t sprout for me, so I have another couple soaking. It’s looking promising.
Nothing yet from my avocado, but it’s still early.
Has anyone else given this method a try?
