Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
The next time you have green onions, don't throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will begin to grow almost immediately and can be harvested almost indefinitely. We just use kitchen scissors to cut what we need for meals. I periodically empty out the water, rinse the roots off and give them fresh water.
Grow your own celery from your remains from the store. Just chop of the base and plant. One week of growth shown in photo.

Checklist for cleaning the house -when you are overwhelmed and don't know where to start.
Spray the plant with Epsom salts (1 teaspoon dissolved in a spray bottle of warm water (about 4 cups).

Natural Cleaner: Orange peels, vinegar in a quart jar, let sit for 10 days or so...strain out the liquid and use as an all-purpose cleaner. Easy, cheap, natural, smells good! - I will have to try this, we eat a lot of oranges & I have just discovered the amazing cleaning ability of vinegar. Hopefully this will make it smell better though!
