First, I was asked where I bought my portulaca -moss rose seeds I got them on EBay for $1.79 shipped from this sellerSeeds and Scents
They shipped fast and also inclosed a free pack of wildflower seeds.
If you've ever been on Facebook or Pinterest, you've seen posts about regrowing vegetables from the the scraps of the vegetables you've bought at a grocery store.
I am trying it with the the root end of a celery and 3 romaine lettuce. I don't think I really read the instructions. I just sliced a very small sliver off the root end of each one, then let them set in a saucer of water until they sprouted.

Most of the tomato plants are doing fine except for 2 in this planter.
So, I added the celery and romaine in with the 2 cherry tomato plants.
When I bought groceries today, celery was $1.99 at Aldi. I bought some because I like it but I kept that root end too and hope it will sprout like the other one.
It would be great if these actually produce an edible crop. I'll keep you updated.....
I hope you have better luck regrowing vegetables than I did. Please keep us updated.
ReplyDeleteI've been debating on this too. I'm watching yours before I try mine.

I've seen those pinterest pins and wondered if they really worked. I did try the spring onion one and that one works. I'll be interest to find out if celery re-grows.
ReplyDeleteI tried it with celery and it grew nicely in the garden. It seemed to take a long time to get to maturity and died over the winter. I was bummed but hope to try it again sometime.
ReplyDeleteWe tried the celery one time with a few. They were growing nicely till they got mowed off by mistake. Allen always says he will try again--maybe I will remind him.
ReplyDeleteI have seen those around online and wondered if it really works. It would be fun if it did and it looks like yours have sprouted nicely!
ReplyDeleteI have had good success with green onions. Celery seems a little trickier, it tends to die on me, but I did have one that grew well, and produced edible celery until the winter. The plant over wintered, but then it was woody, and we took it out. I think I need to soak them longer to get a better root system before I try to plant them.
