A Facebook friend shared this tip for how you can re-grow celery from the base of the stalk. Just cut off the bottom of the stalk and cover with soil. New growth magically appears from the same stalk! I had no idea! We pulled one out of our compost bin and put it in a pot on the windowsill (with this warm weather we were tempted to just planted it outside even though it's only January). This picture is after one week.
This is a great thing to do with kids. Celery grows fast, so we enjoy checking on it every morning. Can you tell we are looking forward to the gardening season to begin?
We are trying it out right now too!
