In reading gardening blogs and other articles, one topic that periodically comes up is that of restarting plants. We've previously restarted scallions (aka green onions) from nubs with great success, commonly getting them to 5" long from a 3/4" long leftover piece. I recently came across another idea of restarting celery from the leftover base. I'd never considered this before. Typically, I just eat the celery all the way to the heart.
Last week, I remembered this idea as I was getting to the end of some celery. I took the leftover bit and put it in a small glass with about 1" of water. There's no fertilizer in there. I just add water as it evaporates.
One week later, we have some growth. Nothing super fantastic, but it'll be neat to see what happens.
