I didn't know you could grow celery from the store bought stock leftovers. I will try that later today.

I can't seem to kill my chives. 12 years ago I planted them in the holes of a cinder block. The block moved to our new house and got thrown aside during the move. It sat on its side for 2 years without any attention from anyone.

Today I have two 5x20 foot raised beds made of cinderblocks (i got a screaming deal on Craigslist) with every other hole filled with chives divided from that first cinderblock.

It is a theory of mine that the slugs won't pass the wall of chives to get to my garden. It seems to work as I don't have a slug problem in my garden.
