Imagine all the grocery stores have mysteriously disappeared and you must grow a garden to feed yourself. You immediately run to the cupboard where the seed packages are kept, but they are gone too. Are there any items around the house that you can use grow new plants?

How do you start a new plant? One of the easiest ways is to start with a seed. A seed is a new baby plant, or embryo, encased in some starter food and a seed coat to protect it all. Think about all the places you can find seeds in your kitchen. Think about some of the common things you throw away after preparing a meal, the kitchen scraps. Can you grow anything from the parts of the fruits and vegetables you throw away?

Make a list of everything you can find that has seeds you can grow. Make another list of all the food plant parts you could use to grow more plants. Then check my list and see if you found something I didn’t.
