I received a copy of the book from the publisher and wrote this subjective review after reading it. Title: Growing Vegetables from Vegetables. Written and illustrated by Nanayong; published by Nanayong Books. I started my life as a plant parent when I got married, and more than ten years have flown by. I’ve grown many plants, killed plenty along the way, and now have propagation skills and routines for all four seasons. I enjoy tending the plants that make up my little garden, and regrowing
I received a copy from author Nanayong, read it, and wrote this review. Have you been to the grocery store lately? Green onions for 4,000 won, radishes for 3,500, onions for 7,000… I’ve repeatedly picked things up and put them back as the grocery bill became frightening. This book shows how to grow vegetables at home using scraps we usually throw away. Its step-by-step instructions are especially helpful because you can get started with just water and a small container. With its lovely
‘Growing Vegetables from Vegetables’—the title almost sounds like a song. What does it mean? I opened the book, read the first page, and immediately understood: it’s about being a plant parent! When green onion prices soared, lots of people tried growing their own onions at home, calling it ‘scallion tech.’ I was one of them, but it didn’t last because they didn’t grow as well as I expected. They said they’d grow just in water, but mine seemed to do better in the refrigerator! If only I’d had
I received a copy from the publisher and wrote this subjective review. Have you ever thought about growing vegetables at home? My family eats a lot of vegetables, but when prices fluctuate and get high, I hesitate to put them in the cart. As I started spending more time at home, I thought I might grow plants—ideally, edible ones—and then I spotted Growing Vegetables from Vegetables!

‘Growing Vegetables from Vegetables’ #BookGift #GrowingVegetablesFromVegetables #WrittenAndIllustratedByNanayong #NanayongBooks #BookRecommendation @iridescent_story_ 🌈 Rainbow Story Review 🥕 Vegetable prices keep soaring. It’s time to become a savvy plant parent and make a meal with vegetables you’ve grown yourself! I’ve seen lots of people regrow vegetables from scraps, but there seem to be more failures than you’d expect. Each vegetable needs different care and supplies, so it can be hard
I’ve found the book I love more than anything, my all-time favorite! I was already excited when the package arrived, and when I saw the cover I cheered. My kids stared at me in surprise, but that’s how precious this book is to me. As a child I hated vegetables and picked them all out of my food. As an adult I started eating them for my health and fell in love with them; now I eat vegetables every day. Their freshness and healthy taste are hard to beat. I was so happy to receive a book by
As vegetable prices have risen, choosing produce at the grocery store has started to feel like a burden. I tried growing onions, cucumbers, and chives without knowing what I was doing, and, as expected, failed. You really do need to know what you’re doing: this book showed me exactly why I failed. We planted them without trimming the roots first. With this encyclopedia of vegetables, I’m going to grow and harvest a variety of vegetables. #NanayongBooks #GrowingVegetablesFromVegetables
I’d wanted to try growing vegetables from scraps after seeing people do it at home, but it didn’t seem that easy. Then I noticed this very cute book! ‘Growing vegetables from vegetables?’ My kids were interested from the title alone, and so was I. My kids don’t eat a wide variety of vegetables, so I thought growing them ourselves with this book might improve their eating habits. We decided to start by growing carrot greens. I hope we succeed so I can leave a success review!
In this era of high prices, many people want healthy meals and choose vegetarian food. This book explains how to grow vegetables healthfully at home and eat what you grow. We may know about growing them, but sometimes we give up on water propagation because it feels like a hassle or we aren’t sure of the right method. The book makes it really easy, explaining how to plant leftover roots and even what size pot to use. Now all that’s left is to give it a try! #NanayongBooks
I don’t have a scrap of land to try this on. Should I look around frantically for an empty pot instead? When I get to work, I start my day by checking on the potted plants there and greeting them. After weekends or holidays, I ask them how they’ve been. People who grow food must feel even more interest and joy, right? This looks like a children’s book, but there’s so much I didn’t know that it feels like a book for adults—for me.
Nanayong: I grow vegetables with vegetables.
Vegetable prices have really gone up lately, haven't they? These days, a bunch of green onions costs 5,000–6,000 won. I went to the store, barely bought anything, and watched the total climb, so I thought, at least I should grow my own vegetables! I’m sharing what I learned from more than 10 years as a plant parent. I wrote the text and drew cute illustrations myself to explain everything in detail. Follow the clear, charming drawings and learn how to grow vegetables. With this book, you’ll be able to grow and harvest them easily. It has an attractive book jacket over a lay-flat, exposed-spine sewn binding that opens 180 degrees. The visible spine is beautiful, and the book stays open comfortably while you follow the growing and harvesting instructions. It’s sturdy, too. The jacket makes the book easy to spot on a shelf, but I recommend taking it off so you can enjoy the exposed spine—the real charm of this binding—every day.
