Celery - Grow Your Own

Okay, I was perusing around the interwebs the other day and came across an article (which I did not link or remember to save) that basically said you can grow your own celery from celery you buy at the store.

Huh?

I admit, I was skeptical. But check this out:

I bought this bunch of celery at my local grocery store. It isn't organic or anything fancy. Just plain Jane celery.

Then I hacked the bottom few inches off with knife. 


I took the bottom part I hacked off and took it out to the garden. I pushed it down into the dirt and then covered the top. 


Within about a week and a half or so I now have NEW celery growing!! Look at this!!


This is so cool! Between the celery and the green onions I am wondering what other things can be regenerated like that.

Would you try to regrow your celery? Let me know how it goes if you do!! You may cut down the number of celery and green onions you buy by more than half!

Isn't it cool?? I don't know how long it will take to actually get a full grown celery, but I have two different ones growing now and will probably plant more as I use up celery, just to see how long it takes and how late in the season they grow. Exciting! :-) Thanks for reading!
