Celery likes water, other than that it get’s the same treatment as the other residents. These 4 “Clumps” of Celery last us all season eating 3-4 times a week.

This post reminded me of how easy it is to sprout the leftover roots of a bunch of store-bought celery. I placed a celery stump in a dish of water a few days ago, and in a matter of days it grew healthy leaves. That is my kind of house plant. 😍

Give u five! I like using those store-bought veggies for house plant. Besides all kinds of alliums, carrots and parsnips are also cute. Once I made an experiment on carrots, and they did grow into another new carrots (after a long time).

Here are two little guys from the parsnips we got from the 3Euro bags one week ago. But I didn't try celery yet, don't know why, thanks for the reminding.

Do you think that this is the volunteer sunflower that grew in my garden this year, probably from a bird dropping? Here it is, for comparison. Whatcha think? Mine grew about 4ft tall, but didn't have time to produce seeds before the freeze.

I really want to get more beans, peas, beets and sweet potatoes in next season. I also would like to have more beneficial flowers like marigold and nasturtium. I tried Detroit Dark Red beets this year and I want to get better results next season.

I grew one variety 'Astra Rose' this year, and they look elegant and fit in the garden well.

I plan to have a sunflower patch next year, and here are the 7 varieties I want. One of them is perennial 'Early Bird', and the others are either Procut (pollenless) or smaller-flower types. The giant sunflowers look also great, but they are not very suitable for my needs.

Lovely!

I've had that happen before.

you may need to start them earlier or later because they do not really appreciate hot weather.

I have received a lovely gift from DD - Advent calendar with 24 different seeds.

It won't be my choice to buy seeds in this way, but it might be a good idea to create a Advent Seed Patch next year and try to include everything in these 24 packs as a family special.

Talking about beetroots, just found a white variety from the seed catalogue, and it looks attracting to me.

I already have the orange-yellow one and will definitely try both next year.
