Perking Up Potted Plants

Over the years, I've heard several old tales about some of the things you can do to keep your garden and house plants healthy. Like putting egg shells in your garden to increase the nutrients in the soil, but here's a new one. Did you know you can perk up your potted plants with the water leftover from cooking vegetables? Most people pour the excess water from boiling or steaming veggies down the drain, but that water’s actually full of nutrients! So let it cool, then use it to water your plants as you normally would. Who knew?!?
