Celery in a Pot

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?
