Fennel: The delicious bulb, or rather the herb, takes hardly any work to grow - simply place the bulb in a glass filled with water and the herb will grow back on its own. Please make sure that you change the water regularly. The fennel herb can be used like parsley for seasoning and should therefore never simply be thrown away. Tip: Try our recipe for oven-baked salmon fillet with fennel and oranges.

Celery stalks: The narrow, long celery stalk is an extremely popular vegetable in the kitchen, as it gives many dishes and sauces the right flavor. Growing it yourself is easy: simply place it in a shallow bowl of water and put it in a sunny spot. As with fennel, you should change the water regularly. Plant the plant when the first leaves sprout.

Ginger: You can easily grow this popular tuberous plant at home - and it keeps coming back! Here too, the tuber is simply placed in water until it sprouts roots. Then it's off to the bed! Once planted, new tubers will form under the soil for delicious Asian dishes or as a spice in tea.

Carrot greens: You can also look forward to fresh carrot greens in the long term, as they are also very easy to grow. You can use it for soups, pesto or as food for rabbits and hares. Unfortunately, many people don't even know that carrot greens are edible and provide a really nice flavor. So now you are smarter! Simply place the stump in a glass of water and the rest will happen all by itself. Recipe tip: Turkey involtini with carrots

Potatoes: Potatoes need nutrient-rich soil so that you can enjoy a harvest. And it's as simple as this: First, cut one or more potatoes into small pieces, each piece should have one or two potato eyes. When planting, these should point upwards. But first let the pieces dry for a few days at room temperature. Then place the individual pieces about 20 cm deep in the soil, leaving about 5 cm of space between the pieces. Now add half of the compost on top, i.e. 10 cm. As soon as the potatoes have taken root, add the remaining 10 cm of soil on top.

Lettuce: You can grow new leaves from the stalk of the lettuce. This is also very easy, as you simply place it in warm water for about a week and then plant it in the soil.

Garlic: Pretty much everyone has this healthy bulb in their household, as it gives many dishes the right spice. Or what would delicious tzatziki be without plenty of garlic? You can easily grow this healthy spice by planting a clove. The new, tender shoots that develop are milder in taste.
