About a week ago I was pulling off a few stalks of store bought celery when I remembered a friend of mine saying that she had cut her celery off its base and plopped that base back into a bowl of water. Shortly thereafter, she said it was growing new celery stalks!
What?! Celery can re-grow? Yeah right! Wait…that sounds amazing, but really???
Well, I guess she was right because I’ve now seen it on a couple of different blogs and have started one myself! Who knew? Now all we do is wait! Once it gets itself a bit more established, apparently I can put it in the ground and it will continue to grow! I’ll keep you posted on its progress!

I treat all my celery plants as cut and come again plants – although I usually only harvest a stalk or two at a time – but perhaps I could be harvesting more…

Interesting…I love the concept of cut and come again celery! I’ve never grown celery in the garden, so we’ll see how this works out!
