This is amazing. I know I saw this too but where I can not remember. Thanks Suzanne, for the sweet share. I love crunchy celery in salads and sometime I just eat it plain. I am not a big wing fan but we had some as an appetizer the other night and I eat a piece of celery first before I indulge in wings!

Growing an entire NEW plant from a part of the old. We see examples of it all the time, though we rarely let it "register" in our brains.<br /><br />Strawberries will grow a new plant from any portion of their runners that touch the ground, new trees will grow up from stumps, a new plant can be grown from "clippings" from a friend's favorite plant, and the list goes on.<br /><br />Once I even saw a new tree sprouting from a wooden rectangular fence post on my uncle's farm. I was pretty amazed at THAT one - - - until I told him what I saw and he nodded and said, "That was a weeping willow post, they'll regrow without any bark left on them.<br /><br />BTW - you can also grow carrots and potatoes in a similar fashion. You can cut potatoes into pieces to plant and as long as there is an "eye" on each piece they will all grow into new plants.<br /><br />And now, the resident science teacher will bow out - - -Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-33241035332541096992012-03-24T08:49:49.841-05:002012-03-24T08:49:49.841-05:00Who knew?

Tip growing celery if your want your stalks a pale color (very tasty that way) shelter the stalks from light. Can use a coffee can or cardboard. OK that's it I have to go cut the base of my celery and try this now.Rose Prairie Quilts and Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15178342568603202027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-78886633697673101372012-03-23T18:14:18.978-05:002012-03-23T18:14:18.978-05:00I may not have celery growing, but I do have a big...I may not have celery growing, but I do have a big, pretty passion plant.
