9. Garlic
Garlic cloves that start sprouting in your kitchen can be planted instead of discarded. Choose a firm clove with a visible green tip. Plant it in soil, pointy side up, and keep the soil lightly moist. Place the pot in a sunny spot and watch for green shoots. These shoots are called garlic scapes, and they’re flavorful in cooking. With enough time and patience, a full garlic bulb may even form below the surface.
