It is general knowledge that you can pretty much consume the edible portion of any fruit and vegetable and then take it whether it's a seed or the base of the plant, grow some roots on it and stick the sucker in the ground. Well this post is about my experiment with CELERY that I purchased at the local grocery store. Here is what I did.
1.) I ate all the stalks of the celery, and cut just the bottom off.
2.) I placed it in a bowl of water for 5 days, then I changed the water and waited another 4 days. By this time you should see new stalks starting to grow.
Once you see, little white stringy roots growing from the bottom, then it is time to take it out to the garden or a container filled with soil and plant it. Your soil should be a good mix of black earth and compost. I have had great success with sheep manure compost.
This picture below is my celery after 10 days of being planted in my garden.
This picture is my celery with more that I had started, after 3 weeks.
I hope this post encourages you to get out there and give it a try too. If not don't just throw it away, COMPOST it.
