Sounds good. A friend just posted about regrowing stuff from the "butts" of stuff, but it was a different article. They regrew everything in water and the comments indicated that regrowing lettuce and other stuff in just water produced tasteless stuff. This sounds much better.
In my college days, I grew all of these except for lemongrass. I had hundreds of plants, everything I could save from cuttings, seeds, and bulbs, I grew.
When I was little I can remember Mum and I growing carrot tops in saucers of water for fun. We planted an avocado stone once. It only ever had one leaf at a time on it but it's stem wandered all round the kitchen
I certainly had the jar of mung beans sprouting under the sink. I used old, clean pantyhose as a screen.That is what I was thinking.
In the 70's everybody I knew, including me, had a sweet potato vine, an avacado tree or a lemon tree grown from garbage and a mason jar of mung beans sprouting under the kitchen sink!
I remember doing the carrot tops. I remember lots of times there was an avocado pit suspended in a glass with three toothpicks sticking out of the sides. Most of them would grow roots. Some grew the beginnings of a stem. My mum didn't have much luck with those avocado pits.When I was little I can remember Mum and I growing carrot tops in saucers of water for fun.

Mom and Dad should sell their Compost Melons, except we don't know what they are grown from and some taste fantastic, others not so much. I was pretty sure they ended up with a butternut squash - cantaloupe hybrid one year, that was a yucky one.
I should try the celery re-grow.
I still grow sprouts in jars. I use window screen for the screen...and I have radish, pea, and broccoli sprouts in a big pot that I've been using for salads all winter.I certainly had the jar of mung beans sprouting under the sink. I used old, clean pantyhose as a screen.

Thanks! I love that site. My celery butt is now sitting in water.
My chocolate butt doesn't need to grow!I wonder why I can't get my chocolate butt to grow by sitting it in water.

All you have to do is add more chocolate...
Ahhh!!! Thanks for the tip! Adding more chocolate.
You're a bad girl. Remember; "...If you eat too much, oh, oh, you'll awake with a tummy-ache. On the goo-ood ship, Loley-Pop..."
I miss Shirley Temple movies. They just made you feel good. Her movies made a whole generation, and them some, feel good.

I'm sure you meant would, but I did laugh as I pictured you as a rolling, unforested bit of land in a corner...To bring this back on topic, the Romaine lettuce butts are sprouting.You love bad girls...we never miss a chance for a pun or fun. Maybe I should have given up puns for Lent... That wold keep me quiet and in the corner for a while.
