Don't throw away leftover vegetable roots - plant them in pots and they'll grow into a bursting pot in two months, with more than you can pick every day

If you want to grow some vegetables at home in the city, but many vegetables need to be sown and raised as seedlings, and you don't have land, only a balcony or terrace, are there any vegetables that can survive from cuttings? With these vegetables, don't throw away the stems and roots left over from what you normally eat. Stick them into flower pots and they'll easily survive, grow very vigorously, and you'll often be able to pick them to eat.

Scallions - the seasoning everyone eats often is scallions. Add some scallions when cooking noodles or stir-frying, and it'll be very fragrant. Actually, growing scallions from seed takes a long time to sprout. Better to keep the scallion roots, or find some shallots and plant them in a flower pot.

Cover with 4 cm of soil. After watering, they don't need much care. In just over a week, fresh scallions will grow. Pinch them off whenever you want to eat them - very convenient.

Sweet potato vines - more and more people now like eating sweet potato leaves, because they're all-natural and delicious, and are called the queen of vegetables. Actually, growing them yourself is very simple.

Don't throw away the stem portions of the sweet potato leaves you buy. Just stick them directly into a flower pot, with a planting depth of about 5 cm.

Water every day to keep the potting soil moist. They'll survive in a week, and the leaves will stand up.

Water spinach - water spinach is a vegetable everyone eats often. This vegetable is tastiest and most tender when freshly picked, so don't throw away the water spinach you can't finish eating, or the old water spinach.

We can prepare a flower pot without holes, fill the pot with fertile soil, then pour in water, and plant the old stems of the water spinach into it - equivalent to half water, half soil.

Water spinach can sprout quickly and grows especially vigorously. In three or four days you can pinch some to eat once - it grows very readily.

Tomatoes - don't think tomatoes can only be grown from seed. If you've planted a tomato, when pruning, keep the branches.

Stick them into the soil. Don't expose them to strong sun - shade them slightly, and keep them sufficiently moist.

They'll gradually grow roots, and can even grow into a sturdy tomato seedling that will bloom and bear a lot of fruit.
