Try some interesting plants A garden in. yourgroceries Growing house plants doesn't have to be an expen- sive hobby. Look around'the kitchen and you'll find many attractive house plants ready to grow. • One, of ' the most obvious examples of grocery bag gardening is the sweet potato or yam. says Bob Fleming. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food hor- ticulturist. These plants can be started easily in potting soil or even . water. "Place the base of the tuber in a pot of soil and set it in a bright warm location." he says. "Then let nature take its course. In a matter of weeks, young shoots should develop near the top of the tuber and soon you will have an attractive trailing vine. In warmer parts of the province, these plants can be transplanted into the garden in late spring for a fall harvest of sweet potatoes." - If you like tropical plants, don't throw out another avocado pit. With a little patience. you can grow your own hvocado plant. "The •key to growing_ avocados successfully is to remember which end is up," PERM SPECIAL SN Sr)LE REG. 30.00 Jan. 11 to Feb. 6 RE THE ,9$O 4P � Sl AT STUDIO '82 UNISEX HAIRSTYLING 415 MAIN ST., EXETER 235-1081 OPEN Monday to.

Water can be used, but soil reduces the chances of rotting". "Cover two thirds of the seed with soil", he says. "After watering, cover the • top pf the pot with a clear plastic bag to maintain humidity. During the ger- mination period, bright light is not essential, but warm temperatures (20 to 22 degrees C) are recommended." After a few weeks you will notice the first signs of life. The seed will appear to split. It takes four to six weeks before a shoot develops. After the plant reaches a height of 38 to 45 cm (15 to 18 in.) pinch the growing point to encourage branching. If cacti or low- maintenance plants are your fancy. try growing a pineap- ple plant from a pineapple top. Cart the leaves off the top. leaving about 1 to 2 cm (els to / in.) of the fruit. Allow the top to dry in a warm room for three or four days. Set the cut surface on a 15 cm (6 in.) pot of coarse, gravelly soil. Watersparing- ly - this plant likes to be on the dry side. Roots should develop in sixto eight weeks. "Try home-grown ferns by placing a hollowed carrot top in a shallow saucer of water. Its lacey leaves make it an ideal cascading plant. Use the same method for beet tops to grow an attrac- tive bronze -green foliage plant." "The possibilities of gar- dening from ,your grocery bag , are almost endless:" says Mr. Fleming. By MRS.
