Somehow I stumbled onto a blog by a cute couple that had great ideas. They took the stump left from the base of the celery bunch and regrew celery. They also did this with sweet potatoes, onions, and toy choy!
So I started with celery. I got a little excited and didn't read the instructions all the way to the bottom. So I missed the part about putting in dirt before they got slimy or changing the water so my first attempt may fail miserably. I read it more thoroughly tonight and ran to the kitchen to find they indeed were slimy on outside. I cut that part off and put in dirt and we'll see.
The first garden in 2009 was a disaster of weeds and clay. Thanks to the internet and the many gardening books my research lead me to raised bed gardening and it's been a joy since. My family growing up always had a garden so when I married and moved to this home it was the natural thing to do. It's become a place of healing and better therapy then I ever imagined. It's constantly evolving and spreading and may soon include more of the front yard. Watch out neighbors!
