Nearly all varieties of my lettuce and celery grow from a store cutting. All
All onions, potatoes and garlic, I grow from thwthe bulb leftover of my store purchase. I also grow my garlic this way. I've recently moved onto avocado, that's about 50/50. My starfruit, de-husked store coconut and pineapple (doleDole, non organic) are all growing as well.
My peppers (all kinds) are from inside a purxhasedpurchased pepper, my melons are from store melons (took a million tries but got 1 honeydew and start3dstarted grabbing those seeds). I start my peas from a bag of driesdried bean soup mix, and my corn is from a specific kind of popcorn mix (it's cheaper than seeds).
