Greetings from warm, rainy Tennessee. A fellow gardener coworker started the discarded end of two celery stalks in water in our break room at work. I had no idea this could be done. Not sure what we will do with it being this is December. But it sure brightens the place up.My wife sprouted a celery stalk last spring just to do it. My mom used to put taters in a glass of water with toothpicks holding it half out of the water and sprout them just for kicks, too.

Now that’s just real pretty. I have a problem using up celery. I like a handful in soup, tuna salad and chicken salad.
But it doesn’t fit into my crisper drawer either, so it doesnt’ keep well. Now if I chopped off the bottom, it would fit in the crisper and last longer too.
Then I could have some additonal use from the stumps.
I think Texokie did something similar.
I think I see why none of my attempts worked. We don’t waste that much of the celery stalks!
What do you do? Just stick them in water and let them go?
I wonder how long they’d last with four cats around....
