Re-growing Celery

Next on the list for my windowsill garden is re-growing celery.

I cut off the base of some store bought celery.

Put the base in water.  Note my continued use of ice cream containers.  I set the celery on the windowsill to get plenty of sunshine.

Growth after 1 week.  I have green leaves.  The center of the celery stalk started to sprout after a day or so.  Re-fill with water as needed.  

Growth after 2 weeks.

3 Weeks.

4 Weeks.

After 5 Weeks I decided it was time to plant it.  I cannot keep it going indefinitely in water like green onions.  Celery needs soil to keep on growing.

When the outside stalks started to rot I knew that it was the time to plant it.

I cut some holes in the bottom of yet another ice cream a container for drainage.  We go through a lot of ice cream at my house.

Then planted the celery with some soil and watered it well.  Fingers crossed.  I hope it continues to live.

This is my windowsill garden.  To the left I started another celery plant.  Center is the current one I just planted in soil.  To the right are my green onions, still growing well after about 2 months.
