Magic Garden

I was prepping my lunch yesterday - a black bean burrito - and wanted to add some fresh veggies to it.

Look at those perfect lettuce leaves and chives.  Did I pay big bucks for this fresh, organic produce? No, it's from my garden.

Did I buy that plant at the local garden center?  No, it was grown from the bottom of a head of romaine lettuce.  In fact, all of the plants in my tiny garden were grown from food I had purchased. I currently have romaine lettuce, chives, and celery growing, all of which came from scraps that would have either ended up in the garbage or a compost bin.  

Why is it a magic garden? Because I ate lettuce, chives, and celery ... and the garden made it reappear! 😉
