A few weeks ago - I was inspired through Pinterest
to visit Farm Bells Recipes at Chickens in the Road site. They have an interesting post about
'regrowing celery from a store stalk'.
I decided to try it.
I planted mine indoors since it's still a bit early
for warm weather plants.
I recently purchased an old enamel bucket that
has some holes in the bottom. Seemed like the perfect indoor garden for this idea.
After a few weeks - this is what it's looking like.
I don't have the best sunny windows - or I think it could have grown faster. I keep it well watered
and am excited to see...
...if I will actually get a full new celery stalk out
of this. I'll plant it outside in a few weeks and we shall see...
Click on the link in this post for the full 'how-to'.
But basically - you just cut off the bottom of a
store bought celery stalk and plant it.
How's that for thrifty?

I may have to try this! I think this is a project my kids would enjoy.
When we were kids, we would beg our mom for the celery stalk ends and put them in the top of a mason jar (mayo I think) and then watch them grow a few stalks. We had our own little garden on the window sill. I haven't thought of this for years.
i like this & have 2 organic stalks in the frig & will def give it a try!
Thank you for visiting me! What a neat idea. I've never thought of doing this. Hope you get some crunchy celery from this!
I need to pin this to my pnterest garden board. I love frugal "green" tips like this!
Thank you so much for linking up to "Cowgirl Up!". I really appreciate your participation. See you next week!
