🚫 Never Buy These 12 Vegetable Plants from a Nursery – Grow Them for FREE! 🌱

Buying vegetable plants from a nursery may seem convenient, but did you know some of them are easily grown at home for FREE? Instead of spending money on plants that grow effortlessly from seeds, cuttings, or scraps, try these 12 vegetables that you should NEVER buy from a nursery!

🥦 12 Vegetable Plants You Should Never Buy

1️⃣ Tomatoes 🍅

Tomatoes are one of the easiest vegetables to grow from seeds. Simply scoop out seeds from a ripe tomato, let them dry, and plant them in nutrient-rich soil. They germinate quickly and grow into healthy plants without the need to buy expensive nursery seedlings.

2️⃣ Peppers 🌶️

Bell peppers, chili peppers, and other varieties can be grown from store-bought peppers! Just dry the pepper seeds, plant them in warm soil, and watch them sprout into strong, productive plants.

3️⃣ Garlic 🧄

Instead of buying garlic plants, simply plant individual cloves from a fresh garlic bulb. Within weeks, they will start growing into full-sized garlic plants—no nursery plants needed!

4️⃣ Onions 🧅

Onions can be grown from kitchen scraps or onion bulbs. Just plant the root end of a leftover onion in the soil, and it will regrow into a new onion plant!

5️⃣ Potatoes 🥔

Did you know you can grow potatoes from sprouted store-bought potatoes? Cut a potato into sections with at least one “eye”, let them dry for a day, and plant them in loose, well-draining soil for a huge harvest.

6️⃣ Sweet Potatoes 🍠

Similar to regular potatoes, sweet potatoes grow easily from slips. Place a sweet potato in water until it sprouts, then plant the slips in soil for an endless supply of sweet potatoes!

7️⃣ Lettuce 🥬

No need to buy lettuce plants—just regrow it from the stem base of store-bought lettuce! Place the bottom part in water, and in a few days, you’ll see new leaves growing.

8️⃣ Celery 🌿

Like lettuce, celery can regrow from its base. Place the cut end in a shallow dish of water, and once new leaves appear, transplant it into the soil.

9️⃣ Green Onions 🌱

Green onions regrow quickly in water or soil. Keep the white root ends, place them in a glass of water, and watch them grow back in just a few days!

🔟 Basil 🌿

Basil grows easily from cuttings. Instead of buying a plant, take a few stem cuttings, place them in water until they develop roots, then plant them in soil.

1️⃣1️⃣ Cilantro 🌱

Grow cilantro from store-bought seeds or by regrowing stems in water. Once they establish roots, plant them in soil for a continuous harvest.

1️⃣2️⃣ Mint 🍃

Mint is a fast-growing herb that spreads quickly. Take a small cutting, place it in water, and it will root easily. Soon, you’ll have an endless supply of fresh mint!
