Regrowing Celery From Grocery Store Stock

I gotta try that...Real soon!

There are a lot of other things like this I'll try too. The Coop, an organic food store in Ukiah, sometimes gets unusual things in the fresh vegetable section...

mine grew about 4 inches before it died, I think it will do better in the fall.

I tried it too!! Who can resist the idea? It grew very well on my counter and I have been hardening it off outside. As soon as I get a chance I will put it in the ground. It has very minimal roots- but it does have some. I have grown celery before and it came out very tough. I think it needs a lot of water... but this is a fun experiment!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I love this idea!

I haven't been this excited over an idea on TEG for a while! Thanks sooooo much for sharing!

Mine died, too. It was looking great then all of a sudden it started getting yellow and brown on the leaves. I touched it and it pulled right out, it was rotten. However, the seedlings that I grew and planted at the same time as the grocery store transplant are still alive.

Growing VERY slowly.

Mine are doing great in S.W Ontario but the Weather has been really hot for the past few Days,how does Celery fare in Heat.? I have 4 Plants going from this method, I hope they all make it.

I ran out of time to babysit the 3 that sprouted for me.
Next year, I'll try doing celery this way in February, so that I can get them into a wet, Spring garden.
