Don't Throw It, Grow It! - Deborah Peterson
68 Windowsill Plants from Kitchen Scraps
KORTE INHOUD
Magic and wonder hide in unexpected places — a leftover piece of ginger, a wrinkled potato left too long in its bag, a humdrum kitchen spice rack. In Don't Throw It, Grow It! Deborah Peterson reveals the hidden possibilities in everyday foods.
