CCE Gardening Tip: Keep your kids entertained--start a garbage can garden using the tops of carrots, rutabagas, beets, and other root crops. Cut off the top inch of the vegetable, and set in a shallow bowl. Surround with pebbles to hold in place, then fill the bowl with water. In a few days, the tops should begin sending forth fresh, ferny foliage. Pieces of sweet potatoes (with eyes) also will produce lush, green foliage. Cut the potato in half, making sure the half you save has eyes or sprouts. With toothpicks, suspend in a glass of water, with water covering the bottom third. Within a few weeks, you should have a lush, bushy plant.
