Regrowing Celery From Grocery Store Stock

[vfem]

So I spend WAY too much time on pinterest and I found THIS idea floating around. So DD and I decided why not try it.

We took the base of some store bought celery, and put it in a shallow bowl with warm water. We changed the water out daily and waited a week to see new growth. Since then we have moved it out to our garden and buried it deep where only part of the new growth pops out. You should try it!

Day one:

Day 10:

Today transplanted:

I saw that too! How cool is that? I have 2 bunches of organic celery right now- I see a gardening project in my future!

How long was the process from water til you planted it?

 

[vfem]

Less then 2 weeks!

Did you separate it into individual plants or did you plant the whole thing at once?

Wow I never would have thought that would work. Hope you will keep us up to date on this experiment!

Pintrest is like a giant corkboard. You can see other peoples corkboards and "pin" things to your own that you like.
You could also think of it like a visual bookmark keeper.

I tried this two summers ago, but I think I may have planted mine too soon. It just up and died. Or maybe the Texas heat did it in .... either way, it was a bust. You seem to be having better luck -- good on ya!!
