Peterson, former president of the American Pit Gardening Society,
shows how common kitchen staples - pits, nuts, beans, seeds, and
tubers - can be coaxed into lush, vibrant houseplants that are as
attractive as they are fascinating. With Peterson's help, a sweet
potato turns into a blooming vine; chickpeas transform into cheery
hanging baskets; the humble beet becomes a dramatic centerpiece;
and gingerroot grows into a 3-foot, bamboo-like stalk. In some
cases the transformation can happen overnight!"Don't Throw It, Grow
It!" offers growing instructions for over 50 plants in four broad
categories - kitchen vegetables; fruits and nuts; herbs and spices;
and more exotic plants from ethnic markets. The book is enhanced
with beautiful illustrations, and its at-a-glance format makes it a
quick and easy reference. Best of all, every featured plant can be
grown in a kitchen, making this handy guide a must-have for avid
gardeners and apartment-dwellers alike. "Don't Throw It, Grow It!"
will appeal both to committed recyclers and to anyone who wants to
find magic in the mundane - from parents and teachers looking to
instill a sense of wonder in children, to the houseplant enthusiast
seeking to create a one-of-a-kind Eden right in her kitchen.
The smallest window sill, the tiniest balcony, or a sliver of space
on a bookcase can now be adorned by thriving greenery! This book is

living space and contains 50 projects for creating and maintaining
