Don't throw away the root end of your produce, it can be regrown! - Part 4 - Celery

Regrow Celery


This final posting is just to prove to you that you can also regrow celery, it's just a little slower of a process. Green onions will grow back in a week, Romaine lettuce takes longer, whereas Leeks will take longer still. Celery on the other hand seems to be in no real hurry.

Simply take the root portion and place it in water at first. You will see a little growth soon enough. (Please use filtered water.) Once the plant looks like it really has decided to work with you then plant it in soil.  Now, don't promise the kids when it will be done, simply forget about it for a while.


This is after a few weeks of regrowth. Notice how the new growth shoots out of the center. The existing stalk material is not regrown. It is old and unappreciated. No wonder celery has such attitude!
