Katie Elzer-Peters tells us about kitchen gardening. That is, gardening in the kitchen -- with leftover greens, seeds, and roots.

We talk about growing:

• sweet potato
• carrots
• lettuce
• celery
• beets
• green onions
• leeks
• turmeric
• ginger

And saving seeds from squash and tomatoes.

Katie's is the author of No-Waste Kitchen Gardening: Regrow Your Leftover Greens, Stalks, Seeds, and More.
