Let's Grow Together Challenge 🌱
One seed. One container. One step closer to growing your own food.
This weekend, instead of throwing away the seeds from fruits and vegetables you already eat, let's give them a second life.
Use anything you already have: ♻️
• Plastic containers
• Yogurt cups
• Milk jugs
• Coffee cans
• Buckets
• Pots
Add some soil, plant your seeds, water them, and place them somewhere they'll receive plenty of sunlight.
Great Seeds to Start With:
🥒 Cucumber
🍅 Tomato
🌶️ Bell peppers or hot peppers
🎃 Pumpkin
🥒 Squash
🍈 Melons (cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew)
🍋 Citrus (lemon, lime, orange)
🥑 Avocado (for fun, even though it takes years to fruit)
🌻 Sunflower (especially if you have birds or simply love flowers)
You can also regrow some foods from kitchen scraps:
🧅 Green onions
🥬 Lettuce
🌿 Celery
🧄 Garlic
🥔 Sweet potatoes
🥔 Potatoes (with eyes)
🍍 Pineapple tops
The Weekend Challenge
▪︎ Save seeds from something you already ate.
▪︎ Plant at least one type of seed.
▪︎ Reuse a container instead of buying a pot.
▪︎ Take a photo of your planting.
▪︎ Share it and encourage someone else to join.
REMEMBER:
Every garden starts with a single seed. You don't need a big yard or expensive supplies, just a willingness to begin.
