Potatoes, she explains, are modified stems - tubers
that grow underground.
" They have nodes and internodes. The node is the
part where the leaf comes out, and the internode is the
section between the nodes. "
These qualities enable you to regrow them via
scrap gardening.
And while you may think color and flavor are what
differentiate sweet and classic white potatoes, Sanderson
says there's more plant biology at play.
" Sweet potatoes are actually roots, " she said. Along
with yams, they fall into different plant families. Despite
their differences, all three types can be regrown
through scrap gardening, along with dozens of other
healthy goodies. Some offer speedy rewards, while other
foods take longer to grow. Pineapples, for example,
may take a year or more to yield fruit. Leafy vegetables
such as celery, romaine and bok choy produce fullgrown
greens within a few weeks.
Sanderson encourages people to try it, noting that
even non-gardeners can succeed. " It's fun, " she said,
" something you can even do with kids and grandkids. "
