Himself took the root end of a stalk of celery and placed it in a plastic cup with a bit of water. And waited to see what would happen.
Have you ever rooted vegetables like this?

I think I grew a sweet potato when I was in elementary school. It's neat how our food is still alive.
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I love sweet potatoes but they probably wouldn't do well indoors.
DeleteWhat fun, must try this. I just did it once with garlic, it worked well, too. Happ T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHimself tried with an onion, too, but it’s not looking good
DeleteSo very cool.
ReplyDeleteIndeed
DeleteI have grown avocados before, but at some point, they die before I can plant them in soil. They would never survive a winter outside, so they would need to stay in a pot. I'm impressed with your husband's experiment. Sorry I've missed SO much from your blog lately.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, you had your hands full
DeleteInteresting- and it would be fun to try other veggies too. Not me though-not one bit of a green thumb here;) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThat’s my problem,too. 😺
DeleteYes! We did this quite a bit as kids! Fun! :D
ReplyDeleteCool
DeleteIt's been ages since I did anything like this. That looks like a fun project... *rummages in fridge* Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
DeleteWow, I didn't know celery would grow if you did that. Fascinating. I'm just popping in for a quick visit. I'm still mostly offline. :-(
ReplyDeleteIt grew fast
DeleteI've done this with lettuce and carrots. But they usually died when I move them into soil. Scallions work well too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we’ll have to see what happens when he transplants it
Deletewhat fun to see this. I need to try it. I love "dill" and have wanted to grow some along with ...oh a favorite of mine ..Cilantro. I haven't stuck a veggie in water though - will try that.
ReplyDeleteI've done this with plants, and a pussy willow tree branch; but never with a veggie { course it helps to HAVE veggies in the house which I don't.. unless you count the POTATO chip } this celery stalk is neat !! :) ♥♥
ReplyDeleteI love pussy willows so will have to try that next Spring
DeleteI have read aBout this and I guess it works for allot of veggies we buy-yes they say once you get roots to plant in soil-pretty cool
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous, what a fun experiment! I've done this with mint, carrot tops and butterbeans when I was at school ...lol 😀. Thanks for the smiles! Take care and wishing you a very happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI’ll have to tell Himself about mint
DeleteIf you add some food coloring to the water you can turn the leaves that color through diffusion. Fun biology! High school level in some cases too. So give yourself more credit. Hope it was a happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteCool, blue celery
DeleteI have never tried this but I have always wanted to try! Especially pineapple and ginger. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this celery.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Me, too. 😺
DeleteYes we did, as kids and aloo when our son was young. We did white potatoes (they're easy), carrots and cuttings from plants in the yard. It's fun or kids of all ages.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Stay safe and stay well. Hugs, Eileen
I’ll have to tell Himself about the carrots
DeleteOhhh, I missed this, how cool is the little thing!
ReplyDeleteTried with avocados. Sadly they - after being real big (like 20cm)- died in winter.
Very cool. I can hardly wait to try the little thing with hummus 😺
DeleteThat's amazing :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Who knew?
DeleteThat is so cool! I have never done this before!
