Cherry tomatoes grown from seeds which we saved from store-bought tomatoes.

There is no doubt it’s always best to buy high-quality seeds from a reputable source. It’s reliable, you know exactly what you’re getting, and the germination rate is high. Why, then, bother to plant vegetables from supermarket scraps?

Simple: It’s easy, it’s free, and it’s incredibly fun and satisfying to take something that would otherwise end up in the garbage bin (or at best, in the compost pile) and turn it into a source for homegrown food.
