Don't Throw it, Grow it, by Deborah Peterson

Don't Throw it, Grow it, by Deborah Peterson, 160 pages

This was a really interesting little book- it focused on growing plants from the remnants of others.  For example, you can grow a plant from the discarded top of a carrot, or a tree from an almond.  I was more interested in the self-replenishing fruits and vegetables, of which there are quite a few.  After reading this, I have a clove of garlic growing in a pot (and hopefully producing a head of garlic!), a head of lettuce growing in a dish of water, and I haven't bought green onions in months.  Very interesting stuff, although you could find alot of this information available on the internet, too.
