Growing food from leftover CSA items

For those of you like to grow plants or curious about how plants grow, did you know you can grow food from some kitchen scraps?
Take those green onions we received last week. Instead of throwing out the white ends with the roots, I plant them in a container (medium sized or larger) or in my community garden plot. They grow rather easily and next thing I know, I have green onions at home to pick when needed.

Other items I have grown include garlic, beets (with mixed results), and pineapple.

Check out this article for more tips on growing food from kitchen scraps. They include more detailed instructions for green onions, as well as garlic, sweet potatoes and more.
