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,"

says Mr. Fleming. "Place
the seed. small end up, in a
container of good potting
soil. 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.
